According to the initial investigation, at around 10pm on April 28, Mr. Bui Tuan Anh drove a Range Rover from the main gate of Royal City towards Nguyen Trai Street to Tay Son Street. When he arrived in front of house number 125 Tay Son (a Western pharmacy), Mr. Tuan Anh stopped to buy medicine. However, he did not turn off the car engine.

Taking advantage of this loophole, only about 5 minutes later, Nguyen Duy Linh opened the car door, got into the driver's seat and locked the door. Discovering the incident, Tuan Anh rushed out to pull the left door but failed, and the subject sped away.

The driver then fled through many streets and caused accidents at many points.

Specifically, the driver fled through the streets of Tay Son - Xa Dan - Hao Nam - Cat Linh - Giang Vo - La Thanh - Nguyen Chi Thanh - Lieu Giai - Dao Tuan - Nguyen Khanh Toan - Nguyen Van Huyen - Hoang Quoc Viet. When reaching alley 106 Hoang Quoc Viet, the Range Rover crashed into a motorbike and dragged it under the chassis. The car continued to turn deep into the alley and crashed into 4 motorbikes parked in front of the KFC restaurant and stopped. After fleeing 150m, the subject was arrested by authorities and people.

Next, in front of house number 35 Nguyen Chi Thanh, the car collided with a motorbike with license plate 29B1 driven by Ms. Tran Thi Hanh carrying Phan Duc Hien (born 2002). The consequence was that Hien had a severed left heel and is currently being treated at hospital 354. The third point is at lane 106 Hoang Quoc Viet.

Due to debt, stole a car to pay off debt.

During the interrogation at the investigation agency, Linh admitted that due to debt, he stole the car to sell it to pay off the debt. The police also confirmed that through preliminary testing, the subject did not use drugs or alcohol.

Notably, Linh was identified as having a previous conviction for fraud and property appropriation in 2004, tried by the Thanh Xuan District People's Court. The subject is currently unemployed, living in many places, doing many jobs from security guard, clothing trader, stock trader, and participating in extra roles in some TV dramas...

Through this incident, the police also warned vehicle owners participating in traffic by car when leaving the car to lock the car door carefully and leave it in the right place, with someone watching, to avoid being careless and losing vigilance so that criminals can take advantage of the theft, affecting the security situation.
