These are the assets that the subjects stole from residents in Quynh Luu District.

An investigator from Quynh Luu District Police said that due to not having stable jobs, the above subjects invited each other to break into people's houses to steal property. After each crime, the subjects divided the stolen property and hid it, waiting for the right time to sell it.
