Driver in Nghe An arrested for 'camouflaging' 250kg of firecrackers in cassava truck

Through the work of grasping the situation, the Police Department of Investigation of Crimes on Corruption, Economy and Smuggling discovered a number of subjects, among which emerged Luu Dinh Tuan (born 1985), residing in Nghi Trung Commune, Nghi Loc District, who showed suspicious signs related to the transportation and trading of large quantities of prohibited goods from abroad to the domestic market for consumption.

This subject operates with extremely sophisticated methods and tricks, using social networks to change communication methods, discreetly camouflaging firecrackers, and frequently changing means and delivery locations to deceive authorities.

The Police Department of Investigation of Crimes on Corruption, Economy and Smuggling has established a special project to combat and eradicate. Applying flexible and synchronous professional measures, at about 4:30 p.m. on December 19, 2024, the Police Department of Investigation of Crimes on Corruption, Economy and Smuggling presided over and coordinated with Thanh Chuong District Police to successfully break the project, arresting Luu Dinh Tuan for trading in prohibited goods, and seizing 250 kg of firecrackers.

At the police station, Luu Dinh Tuan initially confessed to his illegal acts. Accordingly, under the guise of a driver transporting goods across the border, Tuan colluded with subjects to get firecrackers to bring back to the mainland for consumption and profit. To conceal his actions, the subject disguised the above firecrackers under the cargo box of a truck carrying cassava tubers, taking advantage of his familiarity with the area to transport the above firecrackers. However, Luu Dinh Tuan's illegal acts were discovered and arrested by the authorities before he could sell them.

Currently, the project is being continued to be fought and expanded.
