After escaping from detention and being wanted by the police, Quang fled to the southern provinces. He then went to Loc Ninh district, Binh Phuoc province, and finally to Dong Tam commune, Dong Phu district to live. To deceive the police, Quang used the transfer of residence certificate of his younger brother, Nguyen Ba Vu (57 years old), then changed his name, registered his identity card under the name Nguyen Ba Vu, and then lived leisurely for decades in Dong Tam commune, Dong Phu district as if nothing had happened.

Quang's actions did not escape the authorities. After verifying that Nguyen Ba Vu was indeed Nguyen Ba Quang, the wanted man, at around 6:30 p.m. on April 4, Binh Phuoc Provincial Police coordinated with Dong Phu District Police and Dong Tam Commune Police to criminally arrest Nguyen Ba Quang (59 years old, from Bac Giang).

At the police station, Nguyen Ba Quang admitted that he was the one who escaped from prison 31 years ago and was wanted.

That same evening, Quang was handed over to the police of Dong Phu district, Binh Phuoc province for temporary detention and pending handling according to the provisions of law.
