Three 8X guys get prison sentences for pickpocketing on the bus
Dung and Cuong pretended to crowd and block the bus entrance so Cong could steal the phones of student passengers.
On December 27, Hanoi People's Court opened the first instance trial of Do Dinh Cong (29 years old), Nguyen Tien Dung (23 years old) and Tran Manh Cuong (23 years old), all from Phu Tho province, for the crime of theft of property.
According to the indictment, the three defendants all had previous convictions for the above crimes and were living as vagrants in Hanoi. To have money to spend, Cong discussed with the other two defendants to pickpocket and steal on buses. Accordingly, all three got on the same bus and stood at the entrance. When they arrived at the bus stops, passengers gathered to get off, Dung and Cuong were tasked with keeping watch, jostling, and shielding, while Cong picked the victims' belongings.

At 6:00 a.m. on October 1, the three got on the Noi Bai - Kim Ma route from Dong Anh district. When the bus reached the Xuan Dinh - Pham Van Dong intersection, they discovered a young man with a Sony Xperia phone in his front pocket, preparing to get off the bus. The three defendants approached. Cong stole the victim's phone, passed it around to Dung, and got off at the next stop. As soon as they got off the bus, they removed the SIM card.
Just one hour later, using the same trick, the pickpocket group stole two more Sony and Samsung Galaxy J5 phones from two students on the bus.
In the morning, when preparing to sell, Cong's group was arrested by undercover criminal police.
After half a day of trial, the court sentenced Cong to 15 months, Cuong to 12 months, and Dung to 10 months in prison.
