'Drug Parties' Rampant at Vietnamese Clubs... Guns Also Discovered
[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Concerns over public safety are growing as 'drug parties' are rampant mainly in clubs and entertainment venues in Vietnam.
According to local media on the 26th, the police raided two clubs, including 'Bar 47' in Daklak Province, early the previous morning to crack down on drugs.
When about 200 police officers arrived at the scene, customers tried to throw bags containing drugs on the floor and escape through emergency exits. They were eventually caught by the police, and drug tests showed that 44 people tested positive.
Under the chair where a 32-year-old man was sitting, a gun loaded with 25 live rounds was also found. In the investigation, the man stated that he purchased the firearm for self-defense in Cambodia in 2016 for 129 US dollars.
