While sleeping in a camp, a couple was pepper sprayed and robbed of their gold.

The victims were Mr. Nguyen Van Ke and his wife (born in 1969, residing in Binh Tan village, Binh Minh commune, Thang Binh district, Quang Nam).

According to Mr. Ke, he and his wife are building a house in group 1 (Binh Tan village) so they often come to the camp to sleep to guard the construction materials. The camp where Mr. Ke and his wife often sleep is next to the house under construction, is crudely made and has no door.

At around 2am on June 13, while the couple was sleeping, a man suddenly broke into the camp and snatched the gold bracelet worn by Mrs. Bui Thi Kim Yen (born 1970, Mr. Ke's wife). At this time, Mrs. Yen woke up and shouted for help. However, when Mrs. Yen screamed, the man sprayed pepper spray in her face.

Hearing the noise, Mr. Ke also got up and shouted for help from the people, but was also pepper sprayed in the face by the subject. Both husband and wife were in pain because their eyes were burning when the subject quickly took the bracelet off Mrs. Yen's hand and ran out into the street, climbed onto the car of another subject waiting outside and escaped.

At this time, the neighbors woke up hearing the screams and took Mr. Ke and his wife to Thang Hoa Hospital (Binh Nguyen Commune, Thang Binh District) for emergency treatment. Afterwards, Mr. Ke and his wife were transferred to Da Nang Eye Hospital for further treatment.

After 2 days of treatment, the couple's eyes were able to see again but were still painful. The couple is currently staying in the hospital for further monitoring and treatment.

According to Mr. Ke, because it was dark, he only discovered the subject wearing a black shirt and pants, wearing a mask and about 1.6m tall. The motorbike that Mr. Ke discovered was a Dream.

According to Binh Minh Commune Police, the case is being further investigated by Thang Binh District Police./.
