Twice imprisoned but still continues to set up a 'workshop' to manufacture illegal weapons
He was imprisoned twice for two crimes: "Illegal transportation of military weapons" and "Illegal manufacture, storage, and use of military weapons" with a total sentence of 6 years and 6 months in prison. However, a young man did not want to reform and continue to set up a "workshop" to manufacture illegal weapons, so he fell into the net of the law for the third time.
Dong Hoa Town Police (Phu Yen) said that this agency has transferred the case to the Investigation Security Department of Phu Yen Provincial Police to continue investigating and handling the subject who illegally manufactured, stored and used weapons that was just discovered and arrested.
Previously, through the work of grasping the security and order situation in the locality and combining information from the people, criminal investigators of Dong Hoa town police discovered that Nguyen Thanh Tin (born in 1989, residing in Quarter 2, Hoa Vinh ward, Dong Hoa town) had illegally manufactured, stored and used weapons.
Through many professional measures, detectives have collected a lot of evidence related to Nguyen Thanh Tin's criminal acts, so an emergency search warrant was carried out at this subject's residence by the Investigation Police Agency of Dong Hoa Town Police on the afternoon of January 16.
From the search results, the police seized 6 pistols, 2,404 bullets of various types, 1.1 kg of ammunition, 4 kg of various bullets, 10 kg of bullet casings, 1 grenade and many machines, equipment, tools, components... to manufacture illegal weapons.
It is worth mentioning that this is not the first time, but 8 years ago, in a first-instance criminal trial at the end of 2017 of the People's Court of Di An town (Binh Duong), Nguyen Thanh Tin was sentenced to 2 years in prison for the crime of "Illegal transportation of military weapons".
After completing his prison sentence and being reintegrated into the community since December 13, 2018, this subject did not want to reform, but continued to secretly manufacture illegal weapons...
On the afternoon of February 11, 2020, the Investigation Security Agency of Phu Yen Provincial Police coordinated with Dong Hoa Town Police to search the residence of Nguyen Thanh Tin and discovered inside his weapon manufacturing "workshop" 6 guns, 10 AR15 bullets, 731 bullets used for support tools, sports weapons, along with many gun manufacturing tools and other dangerous toys.
Nguyen Thanh Tin confessed to having connected via social networks Facebook and Zalo with a number of people who bought and sold guns, bullets, and support tools since the end of October 2019 to buy tools and components to "check in luggage" on inter-provincial buses to bring home to hide and manufacture illegal weapons.
At the first-instance criminal trial on August 18, 2020, the People's Court of Phu Yen province sentenced Nguyen Thanh Tin to 4 years and 6 months in prison for "Illegal manufacture, storage, and use of military weapons" as prescribed in Clause 1, Article 304 of the Penal Code. In addition to the prison sentence, the first-instance judgment also imposed an additional penalty of 30 million VND on the defendant.
Until now, once again Nguyen Thanh Tin does not want to reform, but re-offends in the act of manufacturing and storing weapons, so he continues to fall into the net of the law.
