Mr. Nguyen Xuan Thuy - owner of Song Thuy private enterprise said that the break-in happened on the evening of August 12. Accordingly, at about 9:50 p.m., the thief rode a motorbike to the printing factory. After "inspecting" the printing factory, the thief broke the glass of one of the rooms there.

However, because he could not find any valuable property, the thief followed the fence, climbed onto the roof of the printing factory, then pried off the roofs of two mobile phone stores that backed onto the printing factory.

Similarly, at the mobile phone repair shop Toan "Mom" Service (next to Tuan Dung shop) owned by Mr. Tran Dai Toan, after climbing down from the roof, the thief took away: 1 tablet, 1 iPhone 5, 1 iPhone 6 plus... worth about 20 million VND.

Mr. Toan affirmed that the thief showed his knowledge of electronic goods, because he only chose good, "live" products, while at the store there were many other expensive phones, laptops, and tablets that were still waiting to be repaired.

"While waiting for the police to investigate and clarify, we have to pay out of our own pocket to compensate the customers" - Mr. Tran Dai Toan shared.
