Police officers in Vung Tau City, located in Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province, carried out a sudden raid on a villa for lease along the beach in Ward 10, where a total of 22 people were using narcotics against the law.
The 14 men and eight women come from the north-central provinces of Nghe An and Ha Tinh, the Central Highlands province of Dak Lak, and Ba Ria-Vung Tau Province.
At the police station, they claimed to have thrown a party at the villa to consume ecstasy.
Officers are now finalizing their case report to determine a suitable penalty for the offenders.
