A quick test revealed that all seven individuals tested positive for narcotics.

Through initial investigation, the Quang Ngai Provincial Police determined that, taking advantage of the complex terrain and sparsely populated area, Bui Van Thien illegally occupied a plot of land exceeding 1,000 m² in My Tan village to build shacks, dig shelters, place containers as storage, and turn the area into a gathering place for drug use.

Not stopping there, Thien also lured many local addicts to live and use drugs for free. In return, these individuals had to work under Thien's direction without pay.

Working with the police, some of those involved confessed that they were assigned the task of guarding, keeping watch, and communicating when people came to buy or sell drugs.

According to the police, this was a complex drug trafficking hub that had been operating for a long time, causing negative public opinion and resentment among the people in Binh Son commune.

Lieutenant Colonel Tran Thanh Tung, Deputy Head of the Drug Crime Investigation Department of the Quang Ngai Provincial Police, said: "The suspects were fed, housed, and given drugs by Thien, and were willing to work under his direction. With a resolute spirit of fighting against crime, the authorities successfully dismantled this drug trafficking hub."

Bui Van Thien built an underground bunker on illegally occupied land in My Tan village to use as a storage facility and turned it into a gathering place for drug use.

The timely detection and successful dismantling of the aforementioned illegal drug use operation demonstrates the high determination of the Quang Ngai Provincial Police and the Binh Son Commune Police in the fight against drug-related crimes, contributing to maintaining security and order, and helping local people live, work, and produce with peace of mind.

The case is currently under further investigation by the authorities to ensure strict handling in accordance with the law.
