They were in luxury apartments, hotels, coffee shops, and houses, and concealed their surgical tools to elude authorities, he said. Lê Công Vân, head of the HCM City Police Department s administrative management of social order division, suggested revoking the licences of those who could not furnish the necessary papers during the inspection.
