Arrested subject who forced car to stop and 'begged' for money to buy drugs

Needing money to buy drugs, Thanh went out into the street to stop passersby and "beg for money".

Bo Trach District Police, Quang Binh Province has just temporarily detained Nguyen Chi Thanh (27 years old, residing in Nong Truong Viet Trung town) to investigate the act of Extortion.

Before that, Nguyen Chi Thanh went to Tien Phong village, Nong truong Viet Trung town to play. Seeing Ho Van Ngoan (17 years old) driving his friend by on a motorbike, Thanh immediately stopped him and threatened to force Ngoan to take him to a deserted road.

Thanh was detained for investigation.

When approaching Phu Quy market, Thanh told Ngoan to stop the car to search through the pockets and trunk of the car for valuables. Seeing that Ngoan had nothing but a cell phone, Thanh told Ngoan to pawn the phone at a store to get money to give Thanh. Fearing that he would be beaten, Ngoan pawned the phone for 200,000 VND and then gave the money to Thanh. The incident was then reported to the police.

At the Investigation Agency, Nguyen Chi Thanh confessed that because he needed money to buy drugs, he went out on the street to stop other people's cars to "beg" for money. It is known that Thanh had previously extorted property from several other people. Nguyen Chi Thanh has two previous convictions for robbery and extortion.

The case is currently being investigated and clarified by Quang Binh Provincial Police./.
