On December 9th, Lieutenant General Nguyen Van Long, Deputy Minister of Public Security, sent a letter of commendation to the Director of the Criminal Police Department for their collaborative efforts in solving the Binh "Kiem" case.

Earlier in November, the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security), with a proactive and decisive spirit, led and coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security's representative office in Laos, along with several professional units and local police, to arrest 16 individuals involved in the illegal manufacture, sale, transportation, and storage of military weapons; fraud and appropriation of property; organizing and participating in gambling; and thwarting professional criminal activities that endangered the lives and health of citizens. They seized 11 guns, 1,400 rounds of ammunition, and numerous other documents and evidence related to the case.
