Vietnamese Authorities Arrest Suspects Involved in Illegal Drug Trade
Two suspects in Vietnam have been detained for allegedly trafficking drugs through e-cigarettes, according to local media reports.

According to Vietnamese media outlet Dantri, on November 28th, the public security department of Phu Tho province in Vietnam confirmed that two suspects have been urgently detained on allegations of engaging in illegal drug trafficking.

 

One person confessed to having previously sold e-cigarettes containing drugs to multiple individuals and hiring delivery personnel for distribution, paying them service fees of 3,000-5,000 Vietnamese dong each time.

 

The examination results from the Department of Public Security at the Vietnamese Institute of Criminal Science also confirm that all 16 bottles of e-cigarettes contain harmful substances.

 

According to the authorities from the Ministry of Public Security, there has been an influx of numerous e-cigarette brands in the Vietnamese market. The majority of users are young people, teenagers, college students, and even high school students. The origins of these e-cigarettes are undisclosed, and it has been discovered that many of them contain the dangerous drug AB-CHMINACA. This substance can directly affect the central nervous system, causing intense hallucinations and loss of control over one's behavior. As a result, it poses a severe threat to the health of users.
