ĐỒNG NAI — Police in the southern province of Đồng Nai arrested 17 people for gambling in a melaleuca forest in Biên Hoà City’s Tân Hoà Ward at 4pm on Sunday.

The police also seized hundreds of millions of đồng at the scene.

Following the police investigation, Nguyễn Thanh Phong, 37, of Biên Hoà City, was identified as the ringleader.
