Previously, at 6:20 p.m. on September 15, Sy invited Ngoc Hieu to rob property. Hieu accepted and invited Khang and Trung Hieu to join. The group met at a coffee shop on Cao Son Phao Street (Hoa An Ward, Cam Le District) to discuss the robbery.
At 7:45 p.m., the group entered Hoa Khanh Industrial Park and encountered a woman on a motorbike talking on the phone. Seeing this, Ngoc Hieu drove Khang close to her, snatched her phone, and ran away.
15 minutes later, Ngoc Hieu's group drove up and sprayed pepper spray in the faces of two women who were walking and talking on the phone. When attacked, the victims managed to scream, causing the group to quickly flee.
At 8:20 p.m. the same day, Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh S. was riding her motorbike to the center of Da Nang City. Discovering Ms. S. riding her motorbike while talking on the phone, Ngoc Hieu drove closer to Khang to try to snatch Ms. S.'s phone but failed.
