At about 11:00 p.m. on October 10, 2023, the task force identified the subject as hiding in a house in Noong Pong village, Kham Cot district. They approached and controlled the subject, preventing him from escaping.

After successfully arresting Vu Nhenh Chu, the Investigation Police Department of Hoang Mai Town Police escorted the subject to Hoang Mai Town, detained him, completed the file and procedures and handed him over to Ky Son District Police for handling in accordance with the law./.
