Initial reports revealed that on Saturday, Dang Quang Toan, 38, and 13 others went to the hospital, which is on Nguyen Ai Quoc Road, Trang Dai Ward in Bien Hoa District. They confronted Nguyen The Thu, the director of the hospital, to demand repayment of a debt.
More than 100 police officers were sent to the scene and arrested all 14.
Director Thu admitted to the police that he borrowed VND550 million (US$23,600) from Toan. Toan demanded VND25 million (more than $1,000) in interest per day.
Recently, many illegal money lending rings were reported in the province, causing concern among local residents. The rings often offer loans with astronomical rates of interest.
Director of Dong Nai Police Vu Hong Van said that the police would work to destroy the gangs.
