On May 20th, the Economic Police Department of Ninh Binh Provincial Police announced they are expediting the completion of case files and handling a case involving the sale and trade of nearly 6.5 tons of frozen food without invoices or documents proving its origin. The goods were discovered in Hoa Lu City.
Previously, on May 16th, during a reconnaissance and area monitoring operation, a task force led by the Economic Police Department of Ninh Binh Provincial Police, in collaboration with Ninh Khanh Ward Police in Hoa Lu City, conducted an administrative inspection of a suspicious truck.
The inspected truck, bearing license plate 35C – 092.67, was driven by Dang Van Hung (born in 1989, residing in Sai Village, Quynh Luu Commune, Nho Quan District). At the time of inspection, the truck was loading and unloading goods at a cold storage warehouse located at 467 Tran Hung Dao Street, Ninh Khanh Ward, Hoa Lu City.
Upon preliminary inspection, authorities discovered 225 kg of frozen animal fat (pork fat) on the truck. Notably, the driver could not present any documents proving the origin of the goods.
Based on the driver Dang Van Hung’s statement, the task force expanded their inspection to the cold storage warehouse at the aforementioned address. This facility is owned by Hoang Thi Thu Uyen (born in 1996, residing in Ninh Khanh Ward, Hoa Lu City).
During the search, authorities found an additional 6.24 tons of frozen food stored in the warehouse, including various types such as beef, chicken, buffalo meat, and pork. All of the goods lacked valid invoices or accompanying documents.
In total, nearly 6.5 tons of food were discovered and seized. The involved individuals could not provide documents proving the legal origin of the goods as required by law.
Immediately after the discovery, the Economic Police Department’s task force drafted a report, sealed, and confiscated the entire batch of food for further verification, investigation, and handling according to regulations.
Currently, the Economic Police Department of Ninh Binh Provincial Police is urgently finalizing the case files. The roles and levels of violation of the involved individuals will be clarified to serve the handling process.
According to authorities, the acts of transporting and trading food with unclear origins not only violate market management laws but also pose significant risks to consumer health. Storing large quantities of frozen food in warehouses that do not meet standards and have unclear origins is a serious violation of food safety regulations.
Ninh Binh Provincial Police urge citizens and food businesses to strictly adhere to legal regulations and enhance their awareness of using legal goods with valid documentation. Additionally, authorities will continue to strengthen professional measures to detect and promptly prevent smuggling and commercial fraud in the food sector.
