Accordingly, from around November 2022 to now, through the work of grasping the local situation, Nghi Loc District Police discovered that in Nam Cam Industrial Park and the border area between Nghi Loc and Dien Chau districts, a number of strange subjects often appeared, showing signs of illegal drug trading and use. These subjects often connected with drug addicts in the area, then hung around workers' dormitories to get acquainted and then invited them to go out and show signs of drug use.

In addition, the subjects also sold drugs to long-distance drivers and addicts in industrial zones.

Identifying this as a complicated case, directly affecting the security and order situation in the area, with a tendency to attract industrial park workers into social evils, Nghi Loc District Police have established a special project to combat it.

During the investigation, the police identified the ringleader of the drug supply ring for workers in industrial parks, long-distance truck drivers and addicts inside and outside Nghi Loc district as Tran Thi Van (born in 1981), registered in Nghi Quang commune, Nghi Loc district (current residence: Nghi Xa commune, Nghi Loc district). Van's effective assistant was Quang Thi Binh (born in 1978), residing in Thai Son 1 village, Mon Son commune, Con Cuong district.

Van and Binh colluded to buy drugs, then resold them to workers in industrial parks, long-distance truck drivers and addicts inside and outside Nghi Loc district to make a profit.

After a period of applying a combination of professional measures, on December 16, 2022, the forces of Nghi Loc District Police divided into 2 working groups to simultaneously arrest 2 cases and 2 subjects for illegal drug trafficking and possession. Evidence seized: 5 blue plastic bags containing 1,000 pink synthetic drug pills, weighing 95.5 grams; 1 motorbike; 4 mobile phones and other evidence related to the case.

At the police station, the subjects honestly confessed their crimes and those of their accomplices.

Currently, Nghi Loc District Police are continuing to fight, expand the case, and consolidate records to handle the subjects in accordance with the law.
