Police determined that between October 2019 and January 2020, the three subjects committed 14 thefts in Thanh Chuong, Do Luong, Nam Dan, Yen Thanh, and Tan Ky districts.

Previously, in early January 2020, Do Luong District Police received a report that the donation box at Nha Vy Temple in Thong Nhat Hamlet, Dong Son Commune, Do Luong District had been broken into by thieves and the entire amount of money inside, which was 2 million VND. Three days later, at Bau Co Temple in Hien Son Commune, thieves also broke into the donation box and took away 10 million VND.

Identifying that the thefts at sacred temples and pagodas caused outrage among the people, the District Police established Project 120T to fight. By January 18, the Project Board had arrested the above 3 subjects.

At the police station, the suspects confessed that from October 2019 to January 2020, they used pry bars to break into donation boxes and safes in temples and pagodas, committing 14 thefts in Thanh Chuong, Do Luong, Nam Dan, Yen Thanh, and Tan Ky districts, with a total amount of 35 million VND.
