Hanoi City Police initiated a case and prosecuted Nguyen Duc Trung, a former traffic police officer of Vinh Phuc Province Police, to clarify the act of kidnapping children for extortion.

On the evening of August 16, Major General Nguyen Thanh Tung, Deputy Director of Hanoi City Police, said that the Criminal Police Department of Hanoi City Police had initiated a case of kidnapping for the purpose of appropriating property, and at the same time prosecuted the defendant Nguyen Duc Trung (31 years old, residing in Dong Tinh commune, Tam Duong, Vinh Phuc) to clarify the act of kidnapping children for extortion.

According to Major General Tung, before being arrested, Trung was an officer of the Traffic Police Department of Vinh Phuc Province Police, with the rank of Senior Lieutenant. Immediately after arresting this person, the Hanoi City Police Investigation Agency sent a document to the Director of Vinh Phuc Province Police requesting to carry out procedures to strip Nguyen Duc Trung of his People's Police title according to the regulations of the Public Security sector for strict handling according to regulations.

Based on the notice and request of Hanoi City Police, the Director of Vinh Phuc Provincial Police has issued a decision to discipline the officer by stripping Nguyen Duc Trung of his title of People's Police.

According to a report by Hanoi City Police, at around 9:00 a.m. on August 14, Nguyen Duc Trung used a white Kia Morning car with a fake license plate 29A-246.99, carrying a rubber bullet gun to the new urban area of Viet Hung, Long Bien and drove around the area to steal property.

Because he could not steal anything, Trung came up with the idea of kidnapping a child to threaten and extort money from the child's family. Trung bought a large roll of tape, a pair of gloves, and two rubber bands at a market in Long Bien district. At around 6:30 p.m., he went to the area in front of villa C6BT7 in the new urban area of Viet Hung and kidnapped NTP, putting her in a car.

The kidnapper used a rope to tie the child's hands and drove through many areas in Hanoi, continuously calling the victim's family to extort money.

At around 5:00 a.m. on August 15, while taking the child to the Dong Van Industrial Park service road, Dong Van town, Ha Nam, Trung was arrested by the police.
