Emergency arrest of suspect who robbed a gold shop and dragged a female employee
On the evening of August 1, the Staff Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police announced that the City Police Department had issued an emergency arrest warrant for Tran Anh Dung (born in 1994), residing in Quarter 15, Tam Thang Ward, Ho Chi Minh City; current residence is a motel on Duong Thieu Tuoc Street, Quarter 21, Tan Son Nhi Ward, Ho Chi Minh City, for the act of "Robbery" in the robbery that occurred on July 29 at Kim Phat Nguyen 3 gold shop (Hamlet 4, Tan Vinh Loc Commune, Ho Chi Minh City).
Previously, at 1:00 p.m. on July 29, Ms. Huynh Ngoc Diem (born 2000), a saleswoman at Kim Phat Nguyen 3 gold shop at the above address, went to the police station to report the incident.
Specifically, at 11:50 a.m. on July 29, at Kim Phat Nguyen 3 gold shop, a young man riding a red and white Wave RS motorbike (license plate covered), wearing a blue T-shirt, black shorts, and a scar on his face came to the gold shop and asked to buy gold.
After being shown a 24k gold ring (female), weighing 3.3 chi, worth about 36 million VND, by Ms. Nguyen Thi Yen Nhi (born 2004), also a saleswoman at the gold shop, the young man looked at it back and forth, then suddenly took the gold ring and ran to the car, turned on the computer and escaped.
The female employee in the gold shop immediately chased after the young man to the front of the shop, rushed forward and grabbed the young man's collar to stop him. However, the subject increased the speed and fled in the direction of Vo Van Van Street towards Dan Sinh Bridge after knocking the female employee down onto the street, causing scratches on her arms and legs.
Upon receiving the report, Tan Vinh Loc Commune Police coordinated with the Criminal Police Department of Ho Chi Minh City Police to investigate the perpetrator. Immediately after that, the Police Agency invited Tran Anh Dung to work while this subject was hiding in Tan Son Nhi Ward (old Tan Phu District).
At the police station, Tran Anh Dung admitted to his crime. Initially, Dung said that because he had not had a stable job recently and was in debt, he pawned his laptop and phone to get money to spend.
When the deadline came to pay the interest and redeem the gold, Dung had no money. He decided to rob a gold shop to sell it to get money to get by, but was arrested.
Tan Vinh Loc Commune Police recovered the victim's property, a 24K gold ring, and temporarily detained the Wave RS motorbike with license plate number 72L8-8131, which was the vehicle Dung used to commit the robbery at the gold shop.
