Cao Van Thanh is a notorious, extremely cunning subject with up to 4 previous convictions for property theft. After committing the crime, the subject quickly escaped from the area, so the arrest of the subject encountered many difficulties. On June 14, the working group arrested Thanh when the subject was hiding in Vinh city.

At the investigation agency, the subject confessed that because he had no stable job, he wandered around the districts, waiting for homeowners to take precautions to sneak in and steal property.

Currently, the Investigation Police Department of Hung Nguyen District (Nghe An) has issued a decision to prosecute the case and prosecute Cao Van Thanh for theft of property. At the same time, the authorities are carrying out procedures to return the property to the people.
