The untold story of the commune police's consecutive capture of two wanted criminals

4 hours of mind games with criminals

On August 18, 2018, Nghi Duc Commune Police Department arrested a particularly dangerous criminal Luong Van Nhan (commonly known as Binh), born in 1986, residing in Bac Kenh Cau village, Dong Than commune, Yen My district, Hung Yen province, who is wanted by the Hung Yen Provincial Police Department for the crime of Murder.

This is a "famous" subject in the underworld, with a previous conviction for "Illegal transportation of drugs". At the end of January 2017, after causing the death of one person, Luong Van Nhan fled. Nearly 2 years since being wanted, Luong Van Nhan has still brazenly moved throughout the provinces and cities from North to South. With cunning and cunning, this subject constantly changes his whereabouts, changes his appearance, and even forges his identity card in a very sophisticated way.

Carrying a "passport" with the name Nguyen Huu Hiep, born in 1988, hometown Quynh Hoa, Quynh Phu, Thai Binh, Luong Van Nhan was able to bypass many authorities, including the airport gate, and even the police agencies of the localities where he was hiding. He himself confessed that he had been invited by the police many times for questioning because of his involvement with criminal groups, and he had used all his tricks and cunning to conceal his identity. However, when he arrived in Nghe An, his true identity was revealed.

According to the public's information, the subject appeared in the area with signs of suspected drug-related activities, Nghi Duc Commune Police summoned Luong Van Nhan to the headquarters for questioning. With a stubborn nature and a lot of experience in dealing with the police, Luong Van Nhan calmly presented his papers and declared himself as Nguyen Huu Hiep, from Thai Binh.

Captain Dam Ngoc Hung - Deputy Police Chief of Nghi Duc Commune, who directly "contested wits" with Luong Van Nhan, said that at first glance, the ID card bearing the name Nguyen Huu Hiep did not have any suspicious signs. Every detail was made exactly like the real thing, including the seal.

But unlike the previous times, his usual trick was exposed when Captain Hung asked for a detailed declaration of his relatives' background. Passively, he made up and randomly read out a few names. When asked again, he couldn't remember what fake names he had read out for his father and mother. Through his attitude and inconsistent statements, Captain Hung quickly realized that this was a "problematic" subject, and immediately pursued him to the end.

"He is a very stubborn criminal, determined to fight with the police. When his identity fraud was exposed, he still did not admit it, his face remained calm. Using professional measures, it took us more than 4 hours of investigation before the subject bowed his head and confessed that he was Luong Van Nhan, the wanted subject," Captain Hung said.

After clarifying the subject's true background, Nghi Duc Commune Police Department coordinated with Vinh City Police to hand over Luong Van Nhan to Hung Yen Provincial Police for investigation and handling.

Seize the opportunity to arrest criminals

The feat followed the feat of Nghi Duc Commune Police when just 4 days before arresting Luong Van Nhan, the Commune Police Department fought and arrested another wanted subject, Le Van Thang (born in 1981), residing in Hamlet 20, Nghi Phong Commune, Nghi Loc District, for the act of Intentionally causing injury according to Wanted Decision No. 19 dated May 5, 2014 of the Vinh City Police Investigation Agency.

According to Captain Dam Ngoc Hung, after committing the crime, Le Van Thang fled to Long An. He was able to "sniff out" the police's pursuit, so every time he saw "motion", he quickly escaped.

Recently, he intended to visit home. He married a woman from the South and had three children together, but since he was wanted, his wife abandoned the children and disappeared. The three children lived with their grandparents, and their family situation was not very good. Missing his parents and loving his children, he decided to return home.

Through the process of monitoring and investigation, Nghi Duc Commune Police quickly grasped this. Early in the morning of August 14, when the subject had just returned to the locality, Nghi Duc Commune Police quickly arrested him.

With consecutive achievements in the process of fighting and arresting especially wanted subjects, on September 6, Vinh City Police organized an award ceremony for Nghi Duc Commune Police, continuing to encourage the brothers to fight against all types of crimes, maintaining security and order in the area.
