The police discovered a car with license plate 50G-018.76 parked near the expressway toll station in An Thanh Commune (Ben Luc District), and immediately inspected it.

Mr. NDT (66 years old, delivery driver) said that a stranger ordered him to transport 14 cartons to a person driving a car with license plate 61K-107.58, parked 500m away. The police checked and discovered that the goods contained 250 boxes of fireworks weighing 500kg.
