On the evening of July 2, Mrs. Nguyen Thuy Trang's pawn shop in Tran Quang Dieu ward, Quy Nhon city was deserted. A young man wearing jeans and riding a scooter came to pawn. When she checked and could not find the vehicle registration, Mrs. Trang refused.

When the shop owner turned away, the man rushed forward, put a knife to her neck, and grabbed her gold necklace. He threatened to kill her, making her not dare to scream, then sped away on his motorbike.

The robber ran more than 700 meters to an empty lot where he was discovered by local residents and police patrolling nearby. The victim was fortunately uninjured.

At the police station, robber Le Van Binh (20 years old) confessed to owing 30 million VND in gambling money, and was constantly being asked to pay so he pawned his girlfriend's motorbike, but was refused so he committed the crime.
