Phan Trong Son (also known as Son the Short) has 3 previous convictions for drugs and was released from prison in mid-2021. Son is a very cunning and deceitful person. With some previous relationships, Son connected with foreigners to find drug sources. Then, Son recruited "henchmen" to form retail outlets, supplying drugs to addicts in the area. Son often rented many cars, used fake license plates and surveyed the area many times before buying and selling drugs.

At the time of being stopped and arrested, Son was very reckless, stepped on the gas, and drove the car into the police force. Son and his accomplices then locked the door and barricaded themselves in the car. However, the task force quickly approached, promptly controlled and arrested Phan Trong Son and Nguyen Tat Thach, ensuring the safety of the arresting force and the people.
