Link in drug ring of 'boss' having affair with 'young pilot'

The 36-year-old woman often hung out with young men, and gradually lured them into the illegal drug trade.

On September 29, the Investigation Police Department of Phu Tho Province announced that it had completed the investigation into the case of illegal drug trafficking and storage that occurred in Zone 2, Nong Trang Ward, Viet Tri City; and at the same time, transferred the case file to the Provincial People's Procuracy to propose prosecuting 15 defendants for the above crimes.

The main subjects in the case.

The investigation results determined that the main suspect in this case was Do Thi Kim Lan (36 years old, residing in Co Nhue ward, Bac Tu Liem district, Hanoi). She was married but after the divorce, Lan tried to relieve her boredom by wandering to nightclubs and using drugs.

Not only that, this woman also had affairs with young men, and gradually lured them into the illegal drug trafficking ring.

One of Lan’s young lovers is Ha Quoc Tuan (26 years old, from Thanh Hoa). Tuan was provided with food and accommodation by Lan and was tasked with delivering drugs. When carrying out the transaction of 700g of “crystal meth” and 300 ecstasy pills for Lan, Tuan was arrested by Phu Tho Provincial Police. However, Ha Quoc Tuan is just an “example” case.

The list of young lovers of Do Thi Kim Lan also includes Pham Minh Quang (22 years old, living in Tu Liem, Hanoi). Addicted to games, finished 11th grade, and at the age of puberty, Quang was "taken in" by his "sister" Lan, then lured into joining a drug trafficking ring.

In addition to the young adults, Lan also used money and drugs to lure Bui Thi Yen (29 years old, from Thanh Hoa, temporarily residing in Phuc Dien ward, Bac Tu Liem district) to commit crimes. Until her arrest, Yen, along with Ha Quoc Tuan and Lan, had bought 700 grams of "crystal" drugs from Thai Nguyen to Phu Tho 3 times; then she was paid 2 million VND and "crystal" drugs to use.

According to the Investigation Police, the crime committed by Do Thi Kim Lan and her accomplices was discovered during the Phu Tho Provincial Police’s fight to expand the illegal trafficking of 300 heroin cakes in the area; from there, they discovered a drug trafficking ring from Son La through Hanoi, Phu Tho to China for consumption, and transporting “crystal” drugs from China to inland Vietnam.

Using professional measures, the detectives identified the main suspect in this ring as Tran Quoc Viet (27 years old, residing in Tien Kien commune, Lam Thao district, Phu Tho province). After monitoring, at 1:00 p.m. on October 27, 2016, at area 2A, Nong Trang ward, Viet Tri city, the drug crime investigation team caught Viet red-handed selling drugs to Nguyen Xuan Truong (21 years old, residing in area 17, Hoang Xa commune, Thanh Thuy district, Phu Tho province).

At the police station, Viet confessed that the source of the drugs was Do Thi Kim Lan. From September 2016 to the time of his arrest, he had bought drugs from Lan 5 times.

Based on Viet’s testimony and collected documents and evidence, the Investigation Police Department issued a search warrant and an emergency arrest warrant for Lan. At Lan’s house, the police seized more than 8 grams of ketamine and many tools and means used for illegal drug trafficking.

Fighting with Lan, Phu Tho Provincial Police had grounds to clarify the criminal acts of Tran Thi Thu Huong (41 years old, residing in Kim Ma ward, Ba Dinh district) and Ngo Xuan Son (48 years old, residing in La Khe ward, Ha Dong district, Hanoi).

During the investigation, the authorities determined that Son had sold Lan 200 grams of ketamine, 200 grams of methamphetamine, and 300 ecstasy pills. Huong sold Lan a total of nearly 178 grams of ketamine. When arrested, Son confessed to buying drugs from Tran Phu Tan (33 years old, residing in Cao Bang), and immediately after that, the investigation agency collected documents and arrested Tan.

Expanding the investigation, detectives executed an arrest warrant for Nguyen Trong Hoan (30 years old, residing in Hop Giang ward, Cao Bang city, Cao Bang province), the ringleader of the ring, and also a source of supplying "crystal" drugs from China to Vietnam.

During the investigation, the police determined that Hoan had purchased 750 ecstasy pills, 50 grams of opium, 1kg of ketamine, and 700 grams of crystal meth. In addition to using it for himself, he also sold 1kg of ketamine and 700g of methamphetamine to Tran Phu Tan.../.
