Dismantling a ring of buying and selling and transporting 2,000 synthetic drug pills
(Baonghean.vn) - Thanh Chuong District Police have just coordinated with Ngoc Lam Border Guard Station to successfully break up a case, eradicate a transnational drug trafficking and transportation ring led by Ngu Van Toai, and seize a large quantity of drugs.
Previously, Thanh Chuong District Police discovered a large drug trafficking and transportation ring from abroad, through unofficial channels, smuggled into Thanh Chuong District and then transported to other localities for consumption. During the investigation, the Police found that Ngu Van Toai (born in 1963, residing in Block 4A, Thanh Chuong Town) had many signs of economic uncertainty, suspected to be related to drugs. Recently, the subject has often been absent from the locality.

After collecting documents and evidence, Thanh Chuong District Police determined that Ngu Van Toai was the leader of this transnational drug trafficking and transportation ring. The subject operated on the move, using many sophisticated methods and tricks to deal with the authorities. Taking advantage of having worked for a long time in the border area, Ngu Van Toai connected and colluded with a number of prominent people across the border to get drugs, smuggle them to Nghe An, and then transport them to localities across the country for consumption. Faced with that situation, to concentrate forces and means to fight and clarify, Thanh Chuong District Police established a special project.
Because the subject was familiar with the area, was sophisticated and cunning, and the terrain of the border commune was difficult, the Special Task Force met to discuss and make detailed plans for possible situations.
After a period of persistent monitoring and flexible application of professional measures, at about 12:00 on March 1, 2024, in the Khe Tron stream area of Ngoc Lam commune, Thanh Chuong district, under the direction of the provincial police, Thanh Chuong district police presided over and coordinated with Ngoc Lam Border Guard Station to successfully break up a case, eradicate a drug trafficking and illegal transportation ring from abroad to Thanh Chuong district, and arrest Ngu Van Toai.
At the scene, the authorities seized 2,000 synthetic drug pills, 1 mobile phone, 1 walkie-talkie, 1 motorbike and some other evidence.
At the police station, Ngu Van Toai admitted his crime. Taking advantage of the cold weather and the constant rain to avoid inspection and control by the authorities, Ngu Van Toai illegally crossed the border and brought 2,000 synthetic drug pills to Thanh Chuong to sell for profit.
Currently, Thanh Chuong District Police are completing the case file to handle the subject according to the provisions of law.
