Today (March 26), the police in Ha Long City, Quang Ninh province, announced that they had inspected and discovered three businesses selling "laughing gas" (N2O) without invoices or supporting documents.

Earlier, at 8:15 PM on March 19th, the Ha Long City Police conducted a check of a rented room at Group 9, Zone 5, Yet Kieu Ward, which was rented by Cao Van Tung (born in 1992, residing at Group 2, Zone 4, Yet Kieu Ward).

The inspection revealed 8 metal cylinders inside (suspected to contain N2O gas). An inspection of the car with license plate 14C-165.02 parked in front of the rented room revealed 30 metal cylinders (suspected to contain N2O gas).
