Arresting a 'link' in a drug trafficking ring from abroad to Vietnam
(Baonghean.vn) - Que Phong District Police have just coordinated with relevant units to successfully destroy an illegal drug trafficking ring, arresting 1 subject and seizing 1 heroin cake.
In early August 2023, through professional measures, Que Phong District Police discovered that in Tri Le commune, there were a number of subjects with signs of drug-related crimes. Among them, Xong Ba Xuan (born in 1979), residing in Na Nieng village, Tri Le commune, Que Phong district, showed many suspicious and unclear signs in his relationship with foreigners.
Investigating Xuan's relationships, the District Police determined that this subject was one of the important links in the chain of buying, selling, and illegally transporting drugs from abroad to Vietnam. The Que Phong District Police established a special project to fight.
On September 18, upon receiving information that Xuan would receive and transport drugs into the country, the Task Force quickly consulted and decided to crack the case. At around 7:30 p.m. the same day, when Xong Ba Xuan was on his way to transport drugs from Tri Le commune, Que Phong district downstream, Que Phong district police coordinated with Tri Le commune Border Guard Station to deploy an arrest plan in Tam Hop village, Tri Le commune.
During the arrest, the subject fought back fiercely, but with the spirit of attacking criminals to the end, Que Phong District Police successfully arrested the subject, seizing 1 heroin cake weighing nearly 350 grams.
At the police station, Xong Ba Xuan confessed to his crime.
Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Que Phong District Police has decided to temporarily detain Xong Ba Xuan, and at the same time consolidate the case file and documents to initiate prosecution of the accused according to the provisions of law.
