(Baonghean.vn) - Le Trung Hieu barricaded himself in a car and used a grenade to threaten to commit suicide, injuring the police force when he was surrounded and arrested for illegally buying and selling drugs.
Quy Hop District Police have just issued decisions to prosecute the case, prosecuting the accused Le Trung Hieu, born in 1991, residing in Chau Hoi Commune and Lo Van Ky, born in 1992, residing in Chau Thang Commune, both in Quy Chau District for the act of illegally buying and selling drugs.

Quy Hop District Police have decided to establish a special project to completely eradicate this dangerous ring. Each time they trade drugs, they often hide the goods carefully and frequently change the method of transporting the drugs. Hieu often travels by 4-seat car, and the drugs are transported by Lo Van Ky on a motorbike through Quy Hop District before being delivered to Hieu. Each time he trades drugs like this, Hieu always carries a grenade with him to fight back against the authorities when discovered.
After consulting with the provincial police, the forces of Quy Hop district police decided to solve the case. At 4:30 p.m. on December 16, 2019, when determining that the car with license plate 37A - 446.61 driven by Hieu, carrying Ky, was transporting drugs from Que Phong district through Yen Hop commune, Quy Hop district, Quy Hop district police used synchronous professional measures to stop the car for inspection. However, the 2 subjects in the car held out, forcing the police to break the car's windows to control the subjects.

During the arrest, Le Trung Hieu held a grenade and threatened to commit suicide, fighting back fiercely. However, due to the proactive suppression and the anticipation of the subjects' aggressive tactics, the arrest was safe. The two subjects Hieu and Ky were promptly controlled by the police. Quickly searching the car driven by Hieu, the police seized 1,000 synthetic drug pills, 06 packages of synthetic drugs (03 packages of Ketamine, 03 packages of crystal meth) weighing 150g.
At the investigation agency of Quy Hop District Police, the two subjects admitted to their crimes. They bought the drugs at Thong Thu border gate, Que Phong district, from a Laotian subject, with the intention of bringing them downstream for consumption.
Currently, the case is continuing to be investigated and expanded.
