Expanding the investigation, Binh Thanh District Police discovered that Duc bought drugs from Lam Huynh Minh Man (40 years old, living in Thu Duc City) and Le Ngoc Thanh (30 years old, living in District 10) to resell for profit.
According to the police, Le Ngoc Thanh's gang operates extremely aggressively, ready to use "hot" weapons to fight back against authorities and "deal with" competitors in the drug trade.
From January 24 to 27, Binh Thanh District Police coordinated with District 8 Police and other professional units to eradicate and arrest members of two drug crime rings led by Lam Huynh Minh Man and Le Ngoc Thanh. In addition, the authorities also clarified the illegal drug trafficking and counterfeit money circulation led by Pham Ngoc Duc.
