The 'long slide' of a man in his 60s with 3 criminal records
(Baonghean.vn) - Nearly 60 years old and with 3 previous convictions, Nguyen Van Canh not only does not repent but continues to slide down the path of crime.
At the police station, Nguyen Van Canh with his silver hair bowed his head in silence. When questioned by the police, he clasped his hands together and mumbled an answer.
Although he was a healthy and muscular man, Canh was lazy and did not work hard. At the age of 36, Canh invited his wife to buy drugs to sell for profit, but was discovered and arrested by the authorities. After that, Canh and his wife were sentenced to prison by the People's Court of Nghe An province, in which Nguyen Van Canh was sentenced to 16 years in prison for "illegally buying and selling drugs".

After serving his sentence and returning home, Canh was still "the same old guy", with no money to spend, he went to steal people's property. On October 22, 2003, Nguyen Van Canh was sentenced by the People's Court of Nam Dan district to 9 months in prison for the crime of "Theft of property". It was thought that Canh would reform after that time. After a while, people saw him hanging out with bad friends again. The price he had to pay was that on September 23, 2020, Canh was sentenced to 18 months in prison for "Gambling".
Having been a vagabond in his youth, in and out of prison, it was thought that at his "late afternoon" age, Nguyen Van Canh would reform. However, his path of crime was a "long slide". This time, with the crime of "Illegal drug trafficking", Nguyen Van Canh will have to face the highest sentence under the law.

Accordingly, in the early morning of February 5, 2023, Nguyen Van Canh hired a taxi to take him to the Vietnam - Laos border area in Thanh Thuy commune, Thanh Chuong district to buy drugs to sell to addicts inside and outside the area. At about 8:30 a.m., when the car had just reached Hung Dong commune, Vinh city, Nghe An province, the Hung Nguyen district police force ambushed and signaled him to stop the car for inspection. At Canh's seat, the police discovered 4 packages of crystal meth weighing 4 kg. At the investigation agency, Nguyen Van Canh admitted his crime.
Currently, Hung Nguyen District Police have issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute Nguyen Van Canh for the act of "Illegal drug trafficking"./.
