Previously, in early 2014, Vinh City Police discovered a large-scale drug trafficking ring led by Nguyen Van Dung, so they established a special project to fight and destroy it. At the end of February 2014, the task force determined that Dung and his accomplices were transporting drugs to Vinh City for consumption, so they decided to crack the case.
Under the direction of comrade Mai Chien Thang (at that time Deputy Head of the Investigation Police Agency of Vinh City Police), the task force mobilized and arranged undercover forces ready to solve the case.
When Dung and his accomplices appeared, the task force quickly chased and arrested them. When discovered, Dung drove his car straight into comrade Mai Chien Thang, causing serious injuries to comrade Thang. Despite being seriously injured, comrade Mai Chien Thang directed the officers and soldiers of Vinh City Police to bravely arrest the criminals. During that process, Dung drove away.
After 5 years of hiding under various guises, knowing that he could no longer stay outside the law, on April 12, 2019, Nguyen Van Dung went to the Investigation Police Agency (Nghe An Provincial Police) to surrender for his crimes.
The case is under further investigation.
