Earlier, on the morning of August 6, 2016, Ms. Mai Thi Phuong (residing in Krong Ana district) was riding her motorbike on the road towards the Cu Pao pass area (Quang Dien commune, Krong Ana district) when two individuals rushed out, attacked her with sticks, pushed her to the ground, rummaged through her handbag to steal her belongings, and stole her motorbike.
Immediately after the robbery, Ms. Phuong reported it to the authorities. The Krong Ana District Police deployed forces to apprehend the suspects. Upon spotting the suspects, the police officers rushed forward, but suspect Y Trang recklessly rammed his motorbike directly into one of the officers, causing injury.
After his arrest, the suspect confessed that his gang, consisting of four brothers, had committed numerous motorcycle thefts in Krông Ana, Lắk, and Cư Kuin districts (Đắk Lắk province). Furthermore, the gang also committed thefts in neighboring provinces, including one motorcycle theft in Đắk Song district (Đắk Nông province) and one snatching incident in Lâm Hà district (Lâm Đồng province).
Authorities are also investigating robberies in Buon Ma Thuot City (Dak Lak province) and Pleiku City (Gia Lai province) committed by this gang of four brothers.
