Police crack down on drug trafficking rings
VietNamNet Bridge – Over 3,800 drug cases have been brought to trail in Vietnam over the course of the first five months of the year, as police launched the biggest crackdown on drug smuggling and trafficking in recent memory.
Vietnamese police's aggressive zero tolerance policy towards drug dealers also saw 5,500 suspects being arrested and caches of 300 kg of heroin and opium and 20,000 ecstasy pills being confiscated and disposed of nation-wide.
Police have said that they are increasingly targeting drug runners that utilise remote border crossings to smuggle the contraband into the country. A ring that was disbanded in late May exemplified this approach as it was proven of cooperated with criminal syndicates from overseas to transport heroine into the southwestern border province of Long An from the Golden Triangle via Cambodia.
On June 18, units from the northern border province of Quang Ninh broke up a trans-regional group that plied its trade in Laos and China. Ringleader, Can Viet Phuong, and his 34 accomplices were caught in possession of 1.7 kg of heroine, eight guns, explosives and illegally gained properties worth in excess of 1 billion VND.
Another northern-based syndicate that controlled a vast area of the northern mountainous region for supply and a network that stretched from Ha Noi to Ho Chi Minh City for consumption markets had 42 suspects prosecuted and over 24 kg of heroine confiscated.
However, narcotics squads in HCM City have warned that drug syndicates are becoming increasingly sophisticated as they look for new means of delivery by air, sea and post in particular along routes that involve Australia and Taiwan.
A Vietnamese Australian, Nguyen Tuan Khanh along with 35 others was recently arrested with 2,765 ecstasy tabs in part of a round up that has been ongoing over the last six months and netted 1,511 suspects in 511 separate cases.
Most of the major cases involved growing links with criminals from abroad, highlighting the increasingly complicated situation in Vietnam and the region as a whole, police said.
In a clear message to drug dealers operating in the country a court from the northern mountainous province of Son La on June 14 handed out death sentences to seven defendants and terms of life imprisonment for against a trans-national drug-trafficking gang led by Trinh Nguyen Thuy.
