Notable Cases Involving Vietnamese Nationals
1. Hartlepool Cannabis Farm (~£680,000)
• Who: Vietnamese national Le Van Cong, a former bank director from Vietnam.
• What happened: Police discovered 810 cannabis plants in an above-shop flat in Hartlepool. The estimated value ranged from £226,000 to £680,000.
• Outcome: Cong pleaded guilty and received a 19-month prison sentence.
2. Halifax Shop-Above Cannabis Farm (~£410,000 street value)
• Who: Vietnamese national Vuong Nguyen, aged 47.
• What happened: A cannabis farm was found above a Halifax shop with over 1,000 plants. The street value was estimated at up to £410,000.
• Outcome: Nguyen pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison. He is expected to be deported after serving his term.
3. NCA Investigations – Organised Exploitation
• Who: A network of Vietnamese nationals including Mai Van Nguyen, Doung Dinh, Nghia Dinh Tran, among others.
• What happened: The NCA revealed that trafficked migrants were forced into cannabis farms across the UK—in places such as Tipton, Coventry, Hartlepool, Derby, East Ham, and more. The operations were sophisticated, dispersed, and exploitative.
• Outcome: In two major trials, gang members received combined sentences totaling nearly 80 years. Sentences ranged from around 10 years to 15 years, depending on each individual’s role.
Why the Information Might Be Confused
• No Report Matching £1.8 Million: None of the above sources—or any others I found—reference a Vietnamese man tied to a farm of that value.
• High-Value Operations: While some farms do indeed run into millions (mostly in Scotland or Northern Ireland), they typically involve non-Vietnamese suspects. For example, a Scottish warehouse farm was valued at £3.2 million, but the arrested individual was a 70-year-old pensioner.
• Exploitation Patterns: Many Vietnamese nationals arrested in cannabis cases are believed to be victims of trafficking or debt bondage—recruited or forced into these operations under threats or deception.
Final Thought
It’s possible the £1.8 million figure might reflect misremembered details, a pending case, or misreported media coverage. If you have additional details—such as a date, location, or source—I’d be glad to investigate further.
Otherwise, based on publicly available information, the scenario you described hasn’t been documented in UK reporting.
