Arresting a group of 9X robbers specializing in attacking women

On June 26, the Investigation Police Agency of Soc Son District, Hanoi announced that it had arrested Nguyen Minh Tuan (born 1995), residing in Xuan Giang Commune, Soc Son District, and Bui Dinh Nam (born 1996), residing in Huong Canh Town, Binh Xuyen District, Vinh Phuc Province, for robbery.

According to the investigation agency's documents, in June, Soc Son District Police received a complaint from Ms. HTM (born in 1989), residing in Duc Hau village, Duc Hoa commune, about the incident in which while driving a red-black Honda Wave motorbike on the dike road in Ben village, Duc Hoa commune, she was approached by three young men on a motorbike going in the opposite direction, causing her to lose control of the steering wheel and fall.

Subjects Tuan and Nam at the investigation agency

Upon receiving the information, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Hieu, Deputy Chief of Soc Son District Police, directly directed his colleagues to organize the investigation, collect information and traces related to the case. However, because the scene of the robbery was a deserted dike road and it happened at night, the police force's work of collecting witnesses encountered many difficulties. Seeing Ms. M fall off her motorbike, one of the three young men approached, grabbed the victim's collar, pulled her up, and used a sharp knife to threaten that if she called for help, she would be killed. The subject touched the victim's entire body and reached into Ms. M's pocket to take out a Samsung S3 phone and give it to his accomplices. After that, they turned on Ms. M's motorbike, started the engine, and all three robbers disappeared into the night. In fear of being robbed, Ms. M went to Duc Hoa Commune Police Station to report.

Seized exhibits

On June 24, during the inspection, the police discovered that the stolen phone was being used by a person in Dong Da ward, Vinh Yen city, Vinh Phuc province. According to the new “owner” of the Samsung S3 (the property of Ms. M that was robbed), this person spent 2 million VND to buy it from Nguyen Minh Tuan, an acquaintance in society.

Faced with the physical evidence and some collected documents, on June 25, the Soc Son District Police Department issued a decision to arrest Tuan. At the investigation agency, Tuan confessed that he prepared sticks and knives and then invited Bui Dinh Nam and Nghia (unknown identity and background) to rob property on inter-commune and district roads in Vinh Phuc province and Soc Son district.

After committing the robbery in Duc Hoa commune, this subject and his accomplices sold the phone to an acquaintance in Vinh Yen city, and Tuan used the motorbike to get around. Based on Tuan's statement, the police arrested Bui Dinh Nam.

Expanding the case, the investigation agency clarified that at around 7:20 p.m. on May 24, Tuan and Nghia robbed a Honda Wave S motorbike of a girl in Kim Ha village, Kim Lu commune, Soc Son district. The police agency found the victim of this robbery, Ms. LTK (born in 1989), in Xuan Giang commune (Soc Son).

According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Hieu, the above robbery group gathered all unemployed people who left home to "drift" to internet cafes and motels to party. Tuan, as the leader, was very aggressive, and if the victim resisted, he would use weapons to threaten them. The robbers' targets were girls walking alone at night on deserted inter-commune roads. The police warned that to avoid unfortunate incidents, when going out at night, women should invite men or go with many people.
