Drug lord digs underground tunnel, installs cameras as a place to 'crush drugs' collectively
(Baonghean.vn) - People secretly built tunnels in their houses to hide drugs and give them to addicts. He also bought weapons and gathered followers to fight back against the authorities when he was surrounded and arrested.
On the morning of February 5, the leader of Anh Son District Police said that they had just coordinated with PC47 Department of Nghe An Provincial Police and Phu Tho Provincial Police to successfully break Project 917G, arresting Nguyen Huu Dan (born in 1981, residing in Block 6A, Anh Son Town, Anh Son District).

People leading the distribution of crystal meth in Anh Son district, neighboring districts and some northern provinces.
Previously, using many professional measures, Anh Son District Police detectives discovered a drug trafficking ring from Laos to Anh Son District, then sold it in several districts in Nghe An Province and several northern provinces.
This ring is large-scale, very sophisticatedly organized, cunning, and has a stockpile of firearms. The police identified the ringleader as Nguyen Huu Dan, commonly known as “Dan Long”.
Faced with the above situation, Anh Son District Police established Project 917G to focus on the fight against the drug trafficking ring. The project team quickly determined the scale, organization and operation of the drug trafficking ring led by Dan. They often bought crystal meth, pink heroin, etc. from Laos through unofficial channels and then distributed them to dealers.

Nguyen Huu Dan established a number of retail “agents” for crystal meth in the district, always having his followers deliver goods to neighboring districts. For some contacts in the northern provinces, Dan often disguised and hid drugs in boxes of goods such as orange crates.
This boss also rented Ba Coi dam (in village 6, Long Son, Anh Son) disguised as a fishing place but in reality organized for drug addicts to use drugs. Dan's house was built very solidly, had surveillance cameras installed around it and also designed an underground basement to organize drug use and hide drugs. In addition, Dan also operated pawnshops, loan sharks, etc.
After a period of research and document collection, on February 4, the Special Investigation Committee coordinated with relevant units to arrest Nguyen Huu Dan red-handed for illegally storing drugs.
During an urgent search of Dan's car and house, the Investigation Agency seized 1kg of crystal meth, 1 K59 gun with 5 bullets and many swords.

At the same time, the investigation agency arrested Le Hai Dang (born in 1977, residing in block 4A, Anh Son town). Dang is an important member of Nguyen Huu Dan's network.
According to Anh Son District Police, Dan is the biggest and most difficult drug trafficker to fight in the district. With his cunning and deceitful tricks, Dan has escaped the investigation agency many times./.
