At 3:00 p.m. on October 4, Hoang Mai Town Police received a report from Mr. Le Hoi Hung, resident of Tam Hop hamlet, Quynh Lap commune, Hoang Mai town, that his store was broken into and 101 million VND was stolen.

According to the victim’s report, from early afternoon to 3pm, Mr. Hung’s ice shop was crowded with both regular and casual customers. At that time, Mr. Hung had with him a sum of money exceeding 100 million VND to pay for the goods.

Quynh Lap Commune Police have verified and isolated the suspects. After checking customers coming to the store, the police force discovered the suspect. The suspect was identified as Nguyen Duy Giang (born in 1983), residing in Chung Thinh Quarter, Quang Tien Ward, Sam Son City, Thanh Hoa Province. Giang is the owner of a boat from Thanh Hoa to Quynh Lap Commune, Hoang Mai Town to sell seafood.

At the time of the incident, Giang went to Mr. Hung's store to buy ice. The task force deployed forces to Giang's boat to investigate. However, Giang denied it. Through professional measures, after a period of verification, Giang confessed to all his crimes.

Accordingly, while selling seafood, the ship's hold ran out of ice, so Giang went to Hung's store to buy ice. While selling, Hung dropped money, and Giang took advantage of the moment to steal the money and leave. After stealing the money, Hung hid it in the hold of the ship. The police confiscated all the money and returned it to the victim.
