Clip of a thief breaking into a printing factory on the night of August 12:

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" a circle around 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 up against the printing factory.

Mr. Dung said that when he broke the roof to enter the store, the thief also broke the security camera there. "Therefore, the thief's face was not clearly recorded. But fortunately, I had brought many mobile phones and valuables home before that evening," said Mr. Dung.

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

Mr. Toan affirmed that the thief showed knowledge about electronic goods, because he only chose good, "live" goods, while in 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," said Mr. Tran Dai Toan.

Nguyen Thi Minh Khai Street is home to many of the largest electronic and mobile phone repair shops in Vinh City. And this is not the first time thieves have broken in and stolen.

The incident is being investigated by the police.
