23 white sacks were seized and then taken to the Quynh Luu District Police headquarters.
Authorities took samples for testing and concluded that the white powder in the sacks was methamphetamine. The total weight of the evidence was 700 kg.
This amount of crystal meth was part of a transnational drug trafficking ring led by a foreigner, connected with a number of people from Nghe An. These people chose Nghe An as a transit point, before shipping the drugs to a third country for consumption.
Expanding the investigation, at 3:00 p.m. the same day, the Investigation Team searched the warehouse of Ms. Nguyen Thi Tam (born in 1977, residing in Quynh Hong commune, Quynh Luu district) and seized 50 loudspeakers, 50 cardboard bags and 1 scale. These were the items the subjects used to hide drugs.
The task force initially identified 5 related subjects. The police detained 3 subjects from Nghe An and are pursuing 2 fugitives. Among the 2 fugitives, 1 is a foreigner.
