Breaking into a district official's house to steal birds was caught by the whole village.
(Baonghean.vn) - Seeing that the homeowner was away, Nguyen Van Duong climbed over the fence and broke into the house of Mr. Nguyen Ba Hoang in Hamlet 4, Bac Son Commune - Do Luong to steal a nightingale that was being kept in a cage.
At 9:00 a.m. on September 10, 2018, while riding a bicycle with a nightingale cage on a village road, Duong was discovered by local people. Hearing the shouts, dozens of people harvesting in the fields chased after and captured Duong, tied his hands and took him to the police station of Bac Son commune, Do Luong district.

According to the head of the commune police, Le Quang Tien, the homeowner who lost the bird is Mr. Nguyen Ba Hoang, currently a police officer in Do Luong district. Nguyen Van Duong (born in 1994) in block 10, Do Luong town has a criminal record, and Bac Son commune police have handed Duong over to Do Luong district police for handling.
Nowadays, bird theft is very brazen. If the homeowner opens the door, the thieves will come in naturally. If they see the homeowner, they will ask him to come in and see the bird. If they don't see him, they will take the bird cage and escape.
