The Quang Ninh Economic Police Department has maintained a long-term focus on combating corruption, smuggling, and economic crimes as the region increases its strategic importance in international trade.

Recent enforcement actions include the dismantling of over 1,000 illegal kiln sites and the disruption of organized networks involved in illegal coal mining and cross-border transportation. In a specific case of fraudulent appropriation of property, authorities arrested Truong Minh Hieu for allegedly deceiving victims by claiming connections to customs and border guard officials. Hieu reportedly used these false claims to facilitate the export of dried areca nuts, resulting in the theft of over 5.3 billion VND.
