As hundreds of people were dancing at Paradise bar on Tan Son Nhi Street of Tan Phu District in the first hours of Friday, police entered, prompting the crowd to rush the exits, but to no avail.

Many customers in the VIP area tried to throw away small plastic bags and pills when they got busted.

Via rapid testing, police found 63 women and men positive for narcotic substances. Narcotic pills and bags containing meth were also found at the scene.

Police have filed a report to punish the bar for late opening and letting customers use drugs.
