Police determined that Nguyen Nhu Duc was a drug addict. To have money to buy drugs, he often transported large quantities of drugs to people inside and outside the province. Faced with this situation, the Drug Crime Investigation Police Department established a special project to combat the crime.
After more than 2 months of persistent monitoring, closely following the area and movements of the subject, on April 13, 2019, the investigation team determined that Nguyen Nhu Duc would transport drugs from Yen Thanh to Dien Chau for a subject, so they decided to solve the case.

Expanding the investigation, the special task force searched Nguyen Nhu Duc's residence and seized two packages of heroin on his bed.
The case is currently under investigation.
