Previously, on March 9, May 7 and June 9, 2022, Nghi Loc District Police received consecutive reports that three explosions had occurred at the house of Mr. Bui Hong Ph., residing in Nghi Trung commune, Nghi Loc district.

Determining the nature of the incident to be especially dangerous, if the subjects are not investigated and arrested as quickly as possible, they may continue to cause further explosions of a more dangerous nature and level, affecting the lives and health of the victims' families.

From the above assessment, Nghi Loc District Police reported to the Provincial Police leaders to mobilize maximum forces and means to coordinate with relevant units to establish a special project to fight.

After nearly a month of persistent verification, coordinating with many units from the Ministry of Public Security to local police in many different provinces, the Task Force identified 03 subjects who threw explosives into people's houses in Nghi Loc district, including: Pham Nhu Quy (born in 1993), residing in Dai Tap commune, Khoai Chau district, Hung Yen province, this is a notorious criminal in Khoai Chau district, with 01 previous conviction for intentional destruction of property; Nguyen Thi Thuy (born in 1995), hometown in Hong Phong commune, Dong Trieu town, Quang Ninh province and Bui Hanh Nguyen (born in 1986), hometown in Nam Chinh commune, Tien Hai district, Thai Binh province.

Thuy and Nguyen are currently residing in Hoang Mai district, Hanoi city. Nguyen has just completed a 10-year prison sentence for “Murder”.

Immediately after collecting all the evidence, 02 working groups including 30 officers and soldiers of the Investigation Committee were directly present in Hung Yen, Yen Bai provinces and Hanoi city to arrest the subjects.

On June 21, 2022, in Hanoi city, a working group of the Special Investigation Committee coordinated with relevant units to successfully arrest two subjects Bui Hanh Nguyen and Nguyen Thi Thuy and at the same time extradited the subjects to Nghi Loc District Police.

As for Pham Nhu Quy, suspecting that he would be arrested by the police, Quy quickly fled from Hung Yen province to Hanoi city and then to Yen Bai province.

On June 26, 2022, Quy was arrested by the Special Investigation Committee in coordination with the Van Yen District Police, Yen Bai Province at the house of a friend in Van Yen District, Yen Bai Province while he was preparing his luggage to cross the border to escape abroad.

At the police station, the suspects confessed that because Pham Nhu Quy had a previous conflict with a person in Nghi Trung commune, Nghi Loc district, who was Mr. Ph.'s neighbor, to "resolve the conflict", Quy planned to throw explosives (homemade firecrackers) into the house of the person with whom he had a conflict. However, due to not being familiar with the terrain and the fact that Mr. Ph.'s house and the person with whom Quy had a conflict were located next to each other, Quy and his accomplices did not determine the exact address, leading to the mistaken throwing of explosives 3 times into Mr. Ph.'s house.

Currently, Nghi Loc District Police have initiated a case and prosecuted the three suspects mentioned above for property destruction.

To encourage officers and soldiers with outstanding achievements in the process of successfully fighting and destroying the project, on the morning of July 5, 2022, the leaders of the District Party Committee and the People's Committee of Nghi Loc district also congratulated and gave extraordinary rewards to the Project Board.
