On the afternoon of August 3, Ha Tinh City Police announced that they had just arrested Le Van Dinh (born in 1983), permanent resident of Hamlet 3, Son Truong Commune, Huong Son District, Ha Tinh, for impersonating a police officer to defraud and appropriate property.

According to investigation documents, at about 8:30 a.m. on August 3, during the reconnaissance process in the area, the Criminal Police Team of Ha Tinh City Police coordinated with Thach Trung Commune Police to conduct an administrative inspection of room 503 - Thuy Nhung motel and discovered Le Van Dinh with a people's police uniform.

Subject Le Van Dinh at the investigation agency.

At the investigation agency, Le Van Dinh confessed that he was not a police officer, and that he had ordered all of the uniforms and support tools online with the intention of defrauding gullible people.

Dinh bought police uniforms and support tools online to serve his fraudulent activities.

Continuing to expand the investigation, Ha Tinh City Police identified Le Van Dinh as the subject being sought by Lang Son City Police for his involvement in the case of fraud and property appropriation against Ms. VTV (born in 1964, residing in Lang Son City, Lang Son Province).

Previously, Le Van Dinh introduced himself to Ms. V. as a police officer, working at the Northeast II Mobile Police Battalion (Na Tam area, Lang Son city, Lang Son province). Once he had gained Ms. V.'s trust, Dinh made up many excuses to borrow money.

Fake police photos sent to victims to scam.

To avoid being detected and increase Ms. V's trust in him, Dinh dressed in a police uniform, took many different pictures and sent them to Ms. V.

Trusting, Ms. V. lent Le Van Dinh money and property many times, a Mazda car with license plate 12C - 057.13, with a total value initially estimated at over 4 billion VND.

Currently, Ha Tinh City Police are continuing to investigate.
