18 people were caught red-handed playing xoc dia (a Vietnamese dice game) when authorities raided the farm at 11:30 PM on 25/8.

According to Hung Yen provincial police, gamblers had to travel by motorbike taxi, taxi, or on foot to a meeting point about one kilometer from the farm. From there, lookouts transported each gambler to the den by motorbike.

The farm, located in Thuong Tho village, Nguyen Du commune, was accessible only by a narrow, winding road and protected by two layers of security. The outer layer consisted of three people continuously patrolling the access roads to provide early warnings. In the inner layer, a person stationed directly at the entrance to the gambling room was ready to raise the alarm.

Police seized over 400 million VND in cash, a porcelain bowl and dish set with four dice, and other related items.

The farm owner, Nguyen Quang Hung, 36, residing in Quynh Phu commune, is in custody.
