A man in Bac Giang was arrested after police discovered a "warehouse" containing various types of drugs inside his family's woodworking workshop.

On August 31st, the police of Luc Ngan district, Bac Giang province, arrested Tran Duc Nhat (55 years old, residing in Le Duan area, Chu town) and Nguyen Anh Tuan (33 years old) to investigate their involvement in the illegal trafficking of narcotics.

According to the police, Nhat had two previous convictions for the same crime but continued his criminal ways after being released from prison. Nhat bought heroin, divided it into smaller portions, and sold it to addicts. To conceal his activities, he opened a woodworking shop at his home.

Nhat recruited unemployed, drug-addicted young men to transport heroin for customers.

Whenever a customer came to buy, Nhat would observe from the second floor of his house to see if they were an acquaintance and alone. Only if he trusted them would he agree to sell heroin.

This middle-aged man never dealt directly with the transaction himself. Instead, he had his subordinates collect the money first, then instructed them to hide the drugs at a location far from his house. Once these steps were completed, Nhat's subordinates would notify the customer to come to the hiding place to retrieve the goods.

On August 30th, multiple task forces were deployed to investigate the case. Upon discovering that Tuan had just purchased drugs from Nhat, the detectives swooped in and arrested him, seizing two packets of heroin.

Shortly afterward, a task force quickly searched Nhat's residence, seizing 17 bags of methamphetamine, 38 packets of heroin, and 187 ecstasy pills (a type of synthetic drug)... Authorities are currently quantifying the seized drugs and expanding the investigation.
