At the police station, the two suspects confessed that they were drug addicts and had criminal records. To avoid detection by the police and the public, they bought two sets of police uniforms in Hanoi.

In the early morning of November 24, Thai and Sy dressed as commune police officers, drove a motorbike with license plate 88E1 - 067.37 carrying an electric noose, a sack of snake carcasses and a knife to Tam Quan commune, Tam Dao district to steal a 14.5 kg dog, then were discovered and arrested by the police.

After nearly 2 years of implementing the project to combat, prevent and stop dog and pet theft crimes in the province, Vinh Phuc Provincial Police have investigated and handled 50 cases with nearly 100 subjects related to this type of crime.
