Authorities seized a car along with numerous weapons and fake license plates.
(Baonghean.vn) -While patrolling the highway, the traffic police team spotted a suspicious vehicle and signaled it to stop for inspection, but the driver fled. After driving for about 10 km, the car was apprehended along with several weapons.
At 2 PM on August 27th, a traffic control team from the Dien Chau Traffic Police Station, under the jurisdiction of PC67 Nghe An, consisting of 4 officers led by Major Cao Dang Hung, was conducting traffic control on National Highway 1A at kilometer 411 in Dien Truong commune, Dien Chau district, when they spotted a 4-seater car with license plate 37A 07402 traveling in the direction of Hanoi – Vinh exhibiting suspicious behavior. Immediately, the team signaled the vehicle to stop.
Not only did the vehicle disregard the order, but it sped off at a terrifying speed. Unable to let the suspect escape, Major Hung quickly consulted with his colleagues and chased after the fleeing vehicle. Reaching the Yen Ly intersection, where National Highways 1A and 48 meet, the suspect attempted a sudden turn to escape, but at that moment, the police car also overtook him. The suspect then abruptly swerved to the left, crossing the bridge and descending onto the Yen-My inter-communal road.
After driving for another 3 km, as the traffic police tightened their cordon, the car suddenly stopped in My Quan village, Dien Yen commune. One person inside then frantically ran into the residential area. The traffic control team swooped in and apprehended the two suspects in the car (license plate 37A 07402). A search revealed nearly 20 fake license plates from various provinces, including blue plates, a 1.5-meter-long sword, a 1.5-meter-long axe, two border guard officer kepi hats, two sets of military officer uniforms with lieutenant and captain insignia, a large chain, sirens, and emergency horns.
Driver Cuong and the car fled the scene, taking the weapons and evidence with them.
During initial questioning at the Dien Chau Traffic Police station, the two suspects identified themselves as Phan Dinh Cuong (born 1994, residing in Chau Hong commune, Quy Hop district, Nghe An province), the hired driver, and Dinh Van (born 1974, residing in Hamlet 9, Dien My commune, Dien Chau district, Nghe An province), the passenger, while the owner of the vehicle had fled. Neither of them knew the owner's identity. Driver Cuong also stated that the vehicle had been rented from someone in Vinh City the previous afternoon.
The suspect and seized items have now been handed over by the Dien Chau Traffic Police Station to the Dien Chau District Police for investigation and processing.
