Accordingly, Nguyen Ngoc Sang used the trick of borrowing and then pawning vehicles of many people in Tan Ky district.

To combat the criminal acts of the subject, Tan Ky District Police established a special project and collected related documents and evidence. With the synchronous use of professional measures, the Special Project Board arrested Nguyen Ngoc Sang for the acts of "Gambling" and "Fraudulent appropriation of property". Through the struggle, Nguyen Ngoc Sang admitted his criminal acts.

The police agency clarified that this subject had repeatedly committed online gambling and fraudulently appropriated property worth nearly 1 billion VND.

Currently, the case is being investigated and handled by Tan Ky District Police according to the law.
