Upon receiving the report, the Task Force immediately identified the suspect. Thereby, it was clearly identified that there was a suspect driving a Yamaha Sirius motorbike, red and black, with license plate 37F1 - 053.60, with characteristics matching the stolen motorbike, moving from Chau Thon commune to Tri Le commune.

However, the subject refused to comply with the order and accelerated and fled. At this time, the Traffic Police immediately chased and arrested the suspect.
When arriving at the Tri Le Commune People's Committee area, due to not being able to control the speed, the subject fell down, so he abandoned his motorbike and ran into a nearby field in an attempt to escape.
