Young man "carrying" 2kg of crystal meth and electric shock pliers to make a transaction

In early 2019, through the screening process, Thai Hoa Town Police discovered a drug trafficking ring with large quantities transported from Que Phong District and then brought to Vinh City and Thai Hoa Town for consumption. Project 321M was established to combat this.

Using synchronous professional measures, the detectives identified the main subject in this line as Le Tien Tinh (born in 1993, residing in Quynh Xuan ward, Hoang Mai town). It is known that the subject specializes in pawn business, has 2 previous convictions for drugs.

Seeing the opportunity was ripe, on March 27, the Task Force decided to crack the case. The reconnaissance teams were divided into many groups, with key points being Hoang Mai town and Thai Hoa town to monitor the subject's movements.

That same evening, when the task force discovered Le Tien Tinh moving in Nghia Thuan commune (Thai Hoa town), they immediately surrounded and arrested him, seizing 2 kg of crystal meth and electric shock pliers in his bag.

At this time, the subject continuously shouted and fiercely resisted but was still controlled by the working group and taken to the police headquarters.

During an emergency search of the suspect’s private home in Hoang Mai town, the task force seized 4 packages of crystal meth and 1 small scale. The case is currently under further investigation.
