Prosecution of subject specializing in retailing drugs to 'addicts'

Previously, through the work of grasping the situation, Yen Thanh District Police discovered that there was a subject in the area specializing in retailing drugs to "addicts". Through verification, this was a painful retail point and the subject had many criminal records. In that situation, a special project was established to fight and destroy.

After a period of monitoring and collecting documentary evidence, at 5:00 p.m. on July 30, 2024, the Specialized Department caught Tran Thi Ly red-handed while transporting drugs for retail sale. Notably, when discovered, the subject fiercely resisted, deliberately swallowed the drugs she was holding, and threw the remaining drugs into a deserted garden to "destroy" the evidence.

Immediately, the police took the subject to the hospital to perform medical measures to recover the evidence. The amount of drugs that the subject kept was 530 synthetic drug pills.

At the investigation agency, the subject confessed to regularly buying drugs in mountainous areas and then hiding them in the fields to retail for profit.
