"His appearance and gait were very similar to the robber recorded by the camera," said the captain of the major crimes squad.

Regarding Hung, he also locked his phone for two days in a row and there were interruptions in the time before and after the bank robbery. In particular, the car he usually drove was nowhere to be seen, so the detectives paid special attention and closely monitored all activities.
