Arrested a subject who specializes in robbing motorbike taxi drivers

(Baonghean.vn) - To have money to spend, the subject prepared tools such as knives and pepper spray, then took the victims to remote locations to control and rob them of their property.

On November 14, Colonel Luong The Loc - Head of Thanh Chuong District Police said that the Thanh Chuong District Police Investigation Agency has issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the accused and temporarily detain Nguyen Van Ngoc (born in 1995), residing in Con Song hamlet, Thanh Tung commune, Thanh Chuong district to investigate the act of robbery.

Previously, on November 5 and 6, 2016, Ngoc from Thanh Chuong brought pepper spray to catch a bus to Vinh City, then went to Vinh market to buy a knife and went to Vinh bus station to find motorbike taxi drivers and taxi drivers to rob them. Here, Ngoc hired Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, residing in Block 9, Le Loi Ward, Vinh City, to take him from Vinh bus station to Thanh Tung commune for an agreed price of 300,000 VND.

Because he had planned it in advance, when he arrived at the Cua Ong dam area in Thanh Tung commune, taking advantage of Mr. Hung's lack of vigilance, Ngoc used pepper spray to spray into Mr. Hung's eyes, causing him to be stunned and robbed the victim of 800,000 VND. Before escaping, he did not forget to take Mr. Hung's motorbike key.

Then, using the same trick, one day after committing the robbery with Mr. Hung, Ngoc took a bus from Vinh City to Cau Ro area in Vo Liet commune, Thanh Chuong district. Here, Ngoc met and hired Mr. Ho Xuan Chung (born in 1991), residing in Thanh Khe commune, Thanh Chuong district, who worked as a motorbike taxi driver, to take him to Cua Ong dam in Thanh Tung commune. When arriving at the above area, he asked Mr. Chung to stop the car to go to the toilet with the intention of taking advantage of his carelessness, then used a knife to control him, robbed him of a Mobile brand cell phone worth about 3 million VND, then quickly escaped.

After receiving the victim's report, and determining that the suspect had committed two robberies with reckless and violent methods in a short period of time, Thanh Chuong District Police established a special project with code number 116C to investigate and clarify the matter.

Determined to quickly clarify the case, arrest the perpetrator to reassure public opinion and restore order and security in the area, the Task Force divided into many groups and quickly took action. From the traces left at the scene, as well as the way the crime was committed, the Task Force determined that the two cases were committed by the same subject.

The task force determined that the perpetrator must be someone familiar with the area and possibly doing business in Vinh City. Based on that, the task force focused on reviewing and making a list of "famous" subjects in Thanh Tung Commune who were wandering and living in Vinh City, especially Vinh Bus Station.

Among them, Nguyen Van Ngoc stands out, with complicated social relationships, often associating with bad people. Recently, he left home to live in Vinh City, occasionally appearing in Thanh Tung Commune. Immediately after consolidating documents and evidence related to the two daring robberies above, on January 12, the Task Force executed an emergency arrest warrant for Nguyen Van Ngoc./.
