The terror of the Port’s gangsters

On the streets of Hai Phong, passersby occasionally encounter a healthy-looking middle-aged person riding a bicycle sports leisurely walking around the street. White hat, white clothes, white shoes, many people think this is… an artist, but in fact he is a famous investigator of Hai Phong City Police – Colonel Nguyen Truong Tam Deputy Chief Police Department searches for criminals of Hai Phong City Police.

Gypsy is excited when he hears the name “White Hat”

The name Nguyen Truong Tam is considered the soul of Legendary H88 Team. This is a special criminal police unit established by Hai Phong Police in 1988 (on the payroll of the Hai Phong Criminal Police Department) to create an “iron fist” to destroy hoodlum criminal gangs. infamous.

Talking about Hai Phong’s gangsters during this period, many people still shudder and tremble in fear. There are criminal gangs willing to “shoot first and rob later” when carrying out missions to shoot and kill passersby and then rob motorbikes. Other gangs like the Dong – Dong brothers raged in the river areas of Hai Phong and Quang Ninh. When being chased, they did not hesitate to use AK guns to shoot back, killing 6 police officers…

Sticking with Since its inception, Team H88, Captain Nguyen Truong Tam and his teammates have arrested more than 1,000 cases in just 2 years and destroyed many notorious gangs. The glorious victories of Team H88 resulted in the destruction of criminal gangs operating in Hai Phong in just a short time. To date, this is also the only unit in the country’s police force to be awarded the title of Heroic unit of the Armed Forces only 2 years after its establishment (established in 1988 and awarded the title of Heroic unit in 1990).

Hooligans Hai Phong at that time just heard the name Nguyen Truong Tam and was startled. He has a hobby that he has maintained since he was young, always wearing a white hat on his head. Around the 1990s, on the streets of Hai Phong, every time they saw a middle-aged man wearing a white hat sitting on a large bike passing through an area, gangsters would say to each other: “Maybe the guy with the white hat is about to arrest someone.” “.

Arresting bandits and being handcuffed by the orderly police

Many times I sat and chatted with Colonel Nguyen Truong Tam and heard him tell stories about catching robbers with a witty voice. The story of him capturing the “secret” robber general Manh always made the listener both admire and… . funny. “In my entire life as a criminal soldier, I have never been “rebounded” by a subject, but I have been “pounded” with the butt of a “lipstick” gun – bleeding from the head by the orderly policemen, that was Manh’s arrest. “secret”.

Manh “secret” real name is Vu Tien Manh from village 8, Du Hang Kenh commune, An Hai district (now Du Hang Kenh ward, Le Chan district) and the leader of a gang of robbers on National Highway 5 . They are so aggressive that they often block vehicles passing through Highway 5 and hold guns to the victims’ heads to rob them. Before, during and after Tet Nham Than – 1992 Manh caused a series of motorbike robberies in Hai Phong. Especially the robberies of people’s motorbikes at Transport Enterprise 202; threatened with a gun to rob a motorbike on Cat Cut street and the fatal shooting of a motorbike robber on Thien Loi street…

Team H88 was ordered to arrest “secret” Manh and his accomplices, but when he saw this man “Dong” quickly fled Hai Phong. Through public sources, Team H88 learned that “secret” Manh was hiding in a location in Hai Duong. Lieutenant Nguyen Truong Tam and his teammates immediately set out.

However, with the instincts of an animal Being hunted, Manh “secretly” quickly fled the above location. Receiving the news that “secret” Manh was most likely going to Hai Duong station to escape, Lieutenant Tam and a teammate were immediately present here. Knowing that “secret” Manh is an aggressive thug who always has a grenade gun on him, but the mission is urgent, Captain Tam decides to take action.

Discovering “secret” Manh wearing a Nato shirt She pulled her hat from behind her shirt to cover half of her face, with her hands in her pockets as she walked on the sidewalk, a daring plan was devised. A “motorbike taxi” was rented by two young “countrymen” with the agreement “when I tell you to stop, brake quickly.” The “motorbike taxi” was driving at quite a high speed when passing Manh “secret” and suddenly braked suddenly. Taking advantage of the car’s sudden braking, the two scouts flew into the exact place where “secret” Manh was walking, knocking him down and at the same time controlling his bare hands to give him a chance to pull out a grenade gun. At this moment, a car of the Order Police force (Hai Duong Provincial Police) accidentally passed by and saw 3 young men “fighting”, one of whom pulled out a gun (Lieutenant Tam). To crush the resistance of the “violent guy”, a blow to the head of Nguyen Truong Tam with the butt of a gun made him bleed and then all three “thugs” were handcuffed and taken to the car to the Police headquarters. Here, after verification measures, the new order and order police force fell back on two young men who “participated in the fight” who were famous criminal detectives of Hai Phong. They were even more surprised by the weapons that Manh “secretly” carried on his person, including a K54 gun with four magazines, one loaded, and one grenade. If he doesn’t knock down and break Manh’s resistance in time, he doesn’t know what the consequences will be.

Using prestige to subdue gangster Cu Nen

Hai Phong gangsters in the 90s of the last century had famous gangs including “old” Dung Ha Cu So Lam, forming a “cauldron” position. Among them, the Cu Nen gang emerged with special ferocity. The Cu Nen case is the opening act for Hai Phong Police to destroy the remaining two gangs.

Discovering Cu Nen and his accomplices taking refuge at a house on Lach Tray Street, a plan was created to capture them. perform. Scouts were deployed throughout the houses surrounding where he lived at exactly 3:00 a.m. on March 15, 1995. All the siege points at Cu “Nhan’s” house were completely assembled. Opinion in the house There should be a lot of confused juniors plus a large number of grenades, military guns and swords and bayonets… With their cold-blooded reckless nature, they are ready to fire guns and grenades if they see the police breaking into the house, so The police force sent a group of officers to persuade him to surrender.

However, his family members insisted that Cu Nen was not home. A search warrant was issued for the house, but checking all the rooms did not find him, but only caught the “bees”. H88 Captain Nguyen Truong Tam was ordered to re-check all suspicious signs in the house.

Colonel Tam recalled: “When I climbed up to Cu’s roof, I discovered suspicious signs.” That problem is a small room of only a few square meters on the roof used for storage. Seeing the door locked inside, my hunch told me that Cu Nen was probably hiding there. The situation was urgent at that time, with only me and two scouts on the roof, so I decided to use psychological measures. The gun in my hand made a continuous loading motion and then I shouted: “You should” come out immediately or I’ll shoot you. Tao Truong Tam here. I count to 3.”

After finishing the third count, Cu Ngo crawled out and was immediately controlled by Lieutenant Truong Tam.

Remember that moment Colonel Truong Tam is still a bit “shaky”. Cu So Linh Cu are all assassins who used to shoot people without hesitation. While hiding in the attic, they had guns and grenades ready, but with psychological measures, Captain H88 was able to subdue these thugs. After capturing the Cu Nen gang, the remaining gangs: “old” Dung Ha Lam were also smashed one by one.
