Dismantling a transnational drug ring, seizing 65 kg of drugs
On February 8, the Drug Crime Investigation Department of Binh Duong Province Police said that it had just coordinated with the Drug Crime Investigation Department (Ministry of Public Security) to dismantle a transnational drug trafficking ring, seizing more than 65 kg of various drugs and many other exhibits.
At the end of January 2024, the above-mentioned joint force caught Huynh Trung Dung (born 2006, from Ho Chi Minh City) giving Nguyen Bao Tran (born 1999, from Can Tho City) a cardboard box containing a plastic bag containing white crystalline substance (drugs), in front of house number 1/16A, Binh Hoa ward, Thuan An city.
Through quick investigation, the subjects confessed that the above drugs were given to them by Vo Van Quyen (born in 1991, from An Giang) to deliver to others. Vo Van Quyen was immediately arrested. Searching the residence of this subject in Binh Hoa ward and Vinh Phu ward, Thuan An city (Binh Duong), the police force seized 64.259 kg of various drugs and many related exhibits.
During the investigation, it was learned that Vo Van Quyen contacted a man (unknown) via social network Telegram to receive drugs from Cambodia and then transport them to Binh Duong province.
Quyen then divided the drugs into small pieces and disguised them as gift packages to deliver to the subjects designated by the man through a delivery app.
When the delivery service person comes to pick up the goods, Quyen will give them to Huynh Trung Dung to deliver the "goods" to the carrier and is responsible for monitoring and tracking whether the drugs are delivered to the correct recipient address or not.
Expanding the investigation of the case, the Drug Crime Investigation Department of Binh Duong Provincial Police coordinated with the Police of Ba Ria - Vung Tau, Thua Thien Hue and Binh Phuoc provinces to arrest 3 more subjects and seize more than 692 grams of various drugs.
These are the sources for purchasing drugs from Vo Van Quyen, through express delivery services. The total amount of drugs seized in this case is 65 kg of various types of drugs.
In recognition of this outstanding achievement, Binh Duong Provincial Party Committee awarded 200 million VND to the units participating in solving the case.
