Recently, the police in Khanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, launched a successful joint law enforcement operation in the famous tourist city of Nha Trang, successfully dismantling a cross-border online gambling network controlled by a foreign gang. During the operation, the police simultaneously raided five different locations, arresting 31 suspects on the spot, 30 of whom were Chinese nationals, and one was Vietnamese, and seized a large amount of technical equipment used for the crime.
Operation details: Precision strike by multiple departments
According to local media reports, this operation was led by the Criminal Police Department of Khanh Hoa Province, in collaboration with the Mobile Police, Immigration Management, and Cybersecurity departments. The police struck simultaneously at five gambling dens in Nha Trang, South Nha Trang, and West Nha Trang, finding several people operating gambling systems and promoting them through social platforms. The enforcement process was swift and effective.
Seized at the scene: Hundreds of devices and the operational model behind them
In this surprise inspection, the police seized an astonishing number of tools used for the crime, including:
•40 laptops
•112 various types of smartphones
Initial investigations revealed that most of the arrested Chinese nationals had entered Vietnam on tourist visas, then rented local residential houses or independent apartments as secret bases to conduct online gambling activities. Notably, many did not register their temporary residence information with local authorities as required, maintaining a high level of secrecy. Currently, the police are conducting in-depth investigations to unravel the complete chain of involvement.
Impact of the event: Demonstrating the resolve to combat cross-border crime and industry warning
This operation clearly demonstrates that Vietnamese law enforcement agencies are continuously intensifying their efforts against online gambling crimes, especially those involving foreign gangs in cross-border illegal activities. This provides strong support for maintaining local social order and cybersecurity. Such incidents also remind industry practitioners to comply with local laws and regulations and stay away from cross-border illegal operations.
