Large-scale cockfighting ring busted in longan garden, more than 40 suspects arrested
On January 15, the Criminal Police Department of Tay Ninh Provincial Police coordinated with the Mobile Police Department of the Provincial Police and Duong Minh Chau District Police to destroy a large-scale cockfighting ring in a longan garden in Truong Mit Commune, Duong Minh Chau District.
At the scene, the police arrested and interviewed 43 related subjects, seized 38 motorbikes, 9 chickens, 37 mobile phones, over 120 million VND and other related evidence.

Through investigation, the subjects initially confessed that this cockfighting ring was led by Duong Hong Nhi (alias “Mom”, born in 1985, residing in Go Dau district). Through relationships, Nhi invited gamblers from Trang Bang town, Go Dau district and Duong Minh Chau district to locations chosen by Nhi to participate in betting on cockfighting matches for money.

The gambling locations chosen by Nhi were rubber or longan gardens located along the Dong canal.
To avoid detection, Nhi often changed gambling locations, sometimes changing from 2 to 3 locations a day. Each time, Nhi hired accomplices to pick up and drop off players and keep watch from the outside.
