According to a report from Vietnam News on January 8th, the law enforcement agency in Hanoi, Vietnam has initiated an investigation into the case of Nguyen, a suspected criminal, and has detained him temporarily. He is accused of engaging in "illegal drug trafficking.
According to reports, during a routine patrol, the police spotted a suspicious individual identified as Mr. Ruan. Subsequently, the police conducted an inquiry with him, leading Mr. Ruan to surrender three boxes containing 30 units of an e-cigarette called "Pob Chill," which were found to contain drugs. Mr. Ruan admitted to selling these e-cigarettes containing drugs to customers.
The authorities have confiscated these items and taken Mr. Ruan and the related items back to the police station for further investigation.
According to the investigation, Ren was found to have purchased these illicit e-cigarettes through social media at a price of 380,000 Vietnamese dong per unit, totaling over 11.4 million Vietnamese dong (467 USD). Once he transferred the funds, the "goods" would be delivered to him. He intended to resell these e-cigarettes at a price of 410,000 Vietnamese dong per unit.
The final assessment results indicate that the confiscated e-cigarettes contained drugs, specifically ADB-BUTINACA. The investigation into this incident is currently ongoing with legal actions being taken accordingly.
