A
meeting of the drug crime investigation section (under the provincial police)
to discuss operation plans
In the first six months of 2018, the provincial police detected
104 drug crimes, arrested 134 suspects and seized 41 heroin bricks, 14,520
synthetic narcotic pills, 3,998.51 grams of meth, 23.78 grams of ketamine, 119
million VND and many exhibits.
The drug crime investigation section has coordinated with the drug
crime investigation agency under the Ministry of Public Security and public
security forces of Mai Chau and Tan Lac districts and Hoa Binh city to uncover
13 cases involving 29 suspects, confiscating more than 324 heroin bricks, 4,496
synthetic narcotic pills, 33,982 grams of meth along with cash and related
exhibits.
At present, besides heroin, there is a rising trend of using
synthetic narcotic substances among young people, resulting in serious
consequences on the community and society as a whole. Therefore, along with
investigation, the anti-drug police force is intensifying educational
activities in residential areas on the harms of illegal drug and ways to
prevent drug abuse. Hundreds of leaflets have been distributed to residents,
and many posters and banners were hung in public places to deliver the message.
The force also works with schools and families to encourage families and
students to sign "saying no to drug” commitments.
Along with fighting drug crime, the drug crime investigation
section also joined hand with relevant departments and agencies to help local
drug users to wean the habit. However, the process to sent drug users to
rehabilitation facilities is hindered by complicated procedures. In the first
half of the year, the force completed 153 dossiers for drug users, 8 more than
the figure for the same period last year.
