Drug-related crimes are rated as “hidden” so in the struggle against the crime, the force cannot help depending on people and needing support from the people, Hai said.

Additionally, criminals usually use fine methods and wise tricks; they usually carry weapons and are ready to suicide to protect the sources and their companions.

Behind the success of each drug case is a long arduous journey of a group of police officers, who are consistently facing dangers of their lives.
