Secrets in the bunker of two drug lords
Arriving at Nguyen Thanh Tuan's house, we were startled by the subject's very methodical and sophisticated planning in building a solid residence with a shelter...
After the Son La Provincial Police and the Ministry of Public Security's special task force surrounded and opened fire on the group of especially dangerous wanted criminals Nguyen Thanh Tuan (35 years old) and Nguyen Van Thuan (34 years old, also known as Thuan Chuot) in Ta De village, Long Luong commune, Van Ho district, Son La, the group of reporters arrived at the scene of Nguyen Thanh Tuan's house. Quite startling, because the subject had a very methodical and sophisticated plan in building a solid residence, with a shelter...

The house where Tuan lives is quite elaborately designed by the subject, with an area of about 400m², one side facing the inter-village road, the other 3 sides facing the mountain. Through the reporter's observation, the row of houses consists of 4 houses, covered with corrugated iron roofs, all with bulletproof steel doors connecting to each other.
The first room was solidly built with concrete, had a loft, and at the end of the area was the kitchen and bathroom. Tuan used the second room as a living room and bedroom; the third room also had a bed and some wooden furniture; the last room was used to store wood.
In addition to installing cameras all around the house, Tuan also built two layers of sturdy brick walls on both sides and in front of the house.
On each wall are placed pieces of glass with rows of barbed wire, covered with B40 steel mesh.
Fearing that the shelter could be raided by the police at any time, Tuan built a basement with 3 entrances connecting to the rooms of the row of houses, about 2.5m high, about 20m² in area, the outside of the 3 entrances to the basement were covered with wooden blocks, cement bags...
Here, Tuan also designed a huge karaoke system as a place to gather and entertain with friends.
Here, the police also seized dozens of guns of various types, thousands of bullets, nearly a dozen grenades and food that the subjects had stockpiled with the intention of holding out against the arresting force.

For Nguyen Van Thuan's house, the construction is simpler, in addition to the main house, there is a livestock area... In the house, Thuan designed a cellar with an area of about 16m², about 2.5m deep, with only 1 tunnel leading to the emergency exit to the garden, 1 vent to get fresh air. When examining the scene, this cellar was cleaned by Thuan.
From Highway 6, go to Ta De village, pass Tuan's house, then continue about 600m to Thuan's house in the direction of Hang Kia, Pa Co (Mai Chau district, Hoa Binh). According to the source, although they are wanted fugitives, Tuan and Thuan are separate and isolated in their "business" activities.
