Robbery because of losing World Cup bet
Nguyen Viet Khanh, 20 years old, and his friend lost a football bet so they planned to hire a motorbike taxi driver in a deserted place and attack him to rob him.
On December 5, Khanh and Le Vinh Quang (21 years old) were arrested by Binh Tan District Police, Ho Chi Minh City for the act of ""Robbery".
According to the investigation, Khanh and Quang lost a football bet and had no money to share, so they discussed robbing each other. They went to an empty lot in Binh Hung Hoa A ward, Binh Tan district, and booked a GoJek motorbike taxi.
