Tran Van Ninh, 23 years old and Nguyen The Duy, 19 years old, secretly installed cameras in motel rooms and blackmailed couples.

On January 22, Ninh and Duy were detained by Vinh Phuc Provincial Police to clarify the act of extortion.
Authorities allege that in late November 2020, Ninh rented a room at a motel in Thanh Van Commune, Tam Duong District. When the motel owner wasn’t paying attention, Ninh installed a hidden camera in the room next door. By monitoring couples who came to the room, Ninh collected personal information.

Ninh pointed out where the hidden camera was installed.

When there was information about some cases, Ninh asked Duy to buy three junk phone SIM cards and create many social network accounts to make phone calls and send messages.blackmailThey force the victims to transfer money or they will post it.videoon social media
