People hiding a brutal rapist
Wanted, Van Quai Tran, 44, just been added to the NSW most wanted list THE police hunt for one of the state's most wanted man, alleged sex predator and drug dealer Van Quai Tran, has been hampered by a code of silence among the Vietnamese community. Quai Tran, 44 - also known as Brian Williams or "Uncle" - has been on the run since July 2010, and detectives from Strike Force Cangoura now believe he has gone to ground interstate. Police say Tran, a violent standover figure and drug dealer, has been returning to Sydney on a regular basis to meet with family and associates, all of whom refuse to assist police. "We know that he's returning to Sydney intermittently and meeting with associates," Detective Senior Constable Justin Harris told The Sunday Telegraph. "He's extremely aware of police methods and counter surveillance." A former "bagman" for the Vietnamese gang 5T, Tran is wanted over two sickening rapes, one of which left his victim in hospital with severe injuries. Despite this, his wife, Thi Thu Huong Mai, 46, has refused to give up his whereabouts and was charged in January with perverting the course of justice and hindering the investigation. During her bail hearing, a court heard that a plain-clothed detective, fluent in Vietnamese, overheard her telling her daughter: "We know where he is, don't say anything, don't be afraid." Detective Harris said he believed the Vietnamese community was deliberately misleading police on his whereabouts. "I don't know why they're protecting him, he's sexually assaulted two girls in the space of six months by utilising intoxicating substances to render them helpless," Detective Harris said. "The code of silence is ever strong in the Vietnamese community -- we know (they) have information that can assist police." Tran, who maintains strong links to Asian organised crime, is wanted over an incident on July 17, 2010, when he lured a 16-year-old girl to a "party" at Bonnyrigg, poisoned her drink, then raped her when she was passed out. A month earlier, on June 5, he invited a family friend to a motel on the Hume Hwy where she was drugged and raped so violently that she required extensive surgery. "He's a dangerous man, he's previously served time for a sexual assault and these acts are even being committed on people in the Vietnamese community." During a search of his home, police found a number of drug ledgers and a pistol. He was also arrested on the streets of Cabramatta during the '90s for selling heroin to an undercover cop. "All information on this man will be treated in strict confidence and may be subject of a reward," Detective Harris said. Anyone with further information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
