Taking advantage of the family's absence, Dao stole many gold jewelry and cash from her mother-in-law three times and then went on the run for 15 years.
On June 2, the Investigation Police Agency of Chau Thanh District, Kien Giang Province, reported that they had just arrested Thi Anh Dao (born in 1980; residing in Vinh Hoa Phu Commune, Chau Thanh District) following a wanted warrant issued by the district police more than 15 years ago for theft of property.

According to the investigation results, in mid-February 2003, Ms. Lam Thi Hui (Dao's mother-in-law; residing in Minh Anh quarter, Minh Luong town, Chau Thanh district) hid a lot of cash and gold in a cement jar next to the bathroom inside the house but was discovered by her daughter-in-law.
Taking advantage of the time when the whole family was away, Dao stole many gold jewelry and cash 3 times with a total value of more than 72 million VND (calculated according to current market price).
At that time, Dao admitted to stealing both the gold jar and cash from her mother-in-law. However, on March 4, 2004, the Chau Thanh District Police Department had to issue a wanted notice for Dao because Mrs. Hui's daughter-in-law had fled the area.
After more than 15 years, the authorities discovered that Dao had taken the money and gold stolen from her mother-in-law and fled to live in neighborhood 1B, Chanh Phu Hoa ward, Ben Cat town, Binh Duong province and arrested her.
