Previously, on July 16, Cuong was wandering around Kim Lien station, Da Nang city, when he saw the HN2 train stop, so he tried to crawl through the window into the train to go to Hue. However, when the train moved to Lang Co station, Phu Loc district, Thua Thien Hue province, Cuong discovered that passengers in room 2, car 10 and room 5, car 11 were sleeping with the door open, so he sneaked in and stole 3 mobile phones, 1 tablet, total value of more than 22 million VND, and hid them.
When he reached the end of car 12, Cuong was suspected and chased by the HN2 train guard, so he ran away and hid in the luggage compartment in car 11. Later, when the train stopped at Truoi station, Phu Loc district, Cuong was arrested by the train guard and handed over to Hue City Police when the train arrived at Hue station.
Hue City Police have handed over Cuong and the seized evidence to Phu Loc District Police for further investigation and handling according to the provisions of law.
It is known that Cuong has 1 criminal record, 2 previous convictions for property theft and was just released from prison in April 2018./.
