Nghe An: Arrested 9x specializing in selling drugs in hotels

(Baonghean.vn) - Through the work of grasping the situation, the reconnaissance force of the Special Task Force for Drug Crime Prevention and Control No. 2 (located in Cua Lo Town) discovered a group of strange young men and women who often appeared in Dien Chau District and Vinh City with many suspicious signs related to the illegal buying, selling, storing and using of drugs.

At night, these subjects often gather at hotels and motels together. Identifying this as a group of young people with severe drug addiction, the Special Task Force's scouts concentrated their forces to ambush and monitor them.

Subject Quang Van Tuan

Through that, a subject named Chu Quang Tuan, born in 1995, a Thai ethnic, residing in Na Ngom village, Chau Hoan commune, Quy Chau district, emerged. Tuan is a serious drug addict in the locality, currently under management and monitoring for illegal drug possession. Every week, Tuan takes a bus to Que Phong district to buy drugs to sell to the group of young men above.

To fight and clarify Tuan's criminal behavior, the Head of the Task Force decided to establish Project 1215Q, coordinating with the Drug Crime Investigation Department of Nghe An Provincial Police to solve the case.

After a period of active investigation and monitoring of the subjects' activities and movements, the detectives determined that Tuan was often absent from the locality, sneaking through forests and crossing mountains into the border area with Laos to buy drugs for use and sell to those in need.

In mid-July, detectives discovered Tuan and a group of young men at a motel in Dien Chau district. About 30 minutes later, the group went to Vinh city and then down to Cua Lo town to eat and drink. After eating and drinking, Quang Van Tuan took a bus to Que Phong. Determining that Tuan went to get "goods" to sell to drug addicts, the plan to catch him red-handed was deployed by detectives from the Drug Crime Investigation Department of Nghe An Provincial Police and the Drug Crime Prevention Task Force No. 2.

On July 17, 2016, the Investigation Team discovered Tuan in Dien Chau District, then took a taxi to Vinh City. The distance from Dien Chau to Vinh City is only over 45 km, but Tuan changed taxis twice to mislead the authorities.

Receiving orders from the Special Investigation Committee, two working groups from the professional forces of the Coast Guard and Nghe An Provincial Police conducted surveillance and closely followed the subject; in which a reconnaissance team was assigned to intercept at the overpass in Nghi Kim commune, Vinh city.

The goal was to catch Quang Van Tuan red-handed before he delivered the “goods”. The taxi carrying Tuan turned into an alley on Nguyen Thai Hoc Street, he called a motorbike taxi to go to Hung Thinh Hotel, Hung Binh Ward, Vinh City, then rented room 408 to rest, shower and wash. Concluding that Tuan was carrying drugs to sell to a group of familiar young men, the Task Force decided to crack the case.

Taking advantage of the gap when Tuan opened the door for the receptionist to change the sheets and pillows, the Nghe An Provincial Police reconnaissance force and the Special Task Force promptly rushed into the room, controlled and arrested the subject.

Knowing that he was surrounded, to destroy the evidence, Tuan reached into his pillow to take out a package of drugs and threw it into the toilet, but before he could do anything, he was restrained by the detectives. In the break room, the police made a record and seized 74.59 grams of heroin, 1 cell phone and some evidence related to the case.

Seized exhibits

At the investigation agency, Tuan confessed that he often lured his trusted "juniors" who were also drug addicts to participate in the drug retail and use ring. Every time he brought the "goods" downstream, he rented a motel or hotel to stay and divided the drugs into many small packages, then called the addicts to come and exchange, buy, sell and use them.

He often moves from place to place, causing many difficulties for the authorities in investigating, pursuing and arresting the subject.

Recently, the Investigation Police Agency of Nghe An Province has initiated a case, prosecuted the accused, and issued an order to detain Quang Van Tuan for the act of illegally buying, selling, and storing drugs to serve the investigation and handling according to the law.
