Previously, on the evening of November 9, the Criminal Police Department received a report from the people of Krong Nang commune that at the trade fair at the Commune Cultural House, some strange people came to disturb public order, threatened and demanded that business households in the fair pay protection money or they would cause trouble and not allow them to do business.

Two subjects Nguyen Van Sang and Dinh Ngoc Luong were transferred to the investigation agency by officers of the Criminal Police Department of the Provincial Police.

Immediately after receiving the report, the Criminal Police Department deployed forces to the scene, coordinating with the Krong Nang Commune Police to organize surveillance and ambush. At about 9 p.m. the same day, the police force caught Sang and Luong red-handed receiving 30 million VND in protection money from businesses at the fair.

On November 10, the Provincial Police Investigation Agency issued a decision to detain Luong and Sang. On November 11, the remaining suspects came to the police station to surrender and confessed to the act of extortion.

Subjects at the police investigation agency.

At the police station, the subject confessed that when he heard that a trade fair was about to be held at the Commune Cultural House, Nhut had the idea of harassing people to collect protection money. On November 6, while the fair was taking place, Nhut directed Sang and Luong to cause trouble, not allowing people to participate in the games, and then demanded a protection money of 50 million VND. Because the price was too high, the businesses in the fair did not agree. Unable to achieve their goal, in the following days, Nhut and Luong called the remaining subjects to the fair to continue harassing them. In order to do business in peace, the businesses in the fair had to contribute money to give these subjects 30 million VND. When the subjects were receiving the money, they were caught red-handed by the police.

The case is being further investigated and clarified by the Provincial Police Criminal Police Department.
