Following an investigation, the police discovered that Tien and Thanh had hidden 70 packages of drugs, containing 14,000 ecstasy pills, inside small ceramic containers originally used for holding cremated remains. To evade authorities, they hired a funeral vehicle to transport the drugs from the North to the Central region. Along the way, the pair even continuously burned incense and scattered paper offerings.
At the police station, Tien and Thanh confessed that Tien bought the drugs from his mother for 175 million VND. Afterward, Tien enlisted Thanh's help to rent a vehicle to transport the drugs to Hue for sale.
The Thua Thien Hue Provincial Police are coordinating with the Dien Bien Provincial Police and other relevant units to further expand the investigation.
