Nghi Loc District Police are detaining Le Van Doan (born in 1992, residing in Binh Luc, Ha Nam province) to investigate the act of property theft.
Previously, on June 14, 2020, Khanh Hop Commune Police, Nghi Loc District received a report from Ms. Nguyen Thi Guong, born in 1977, residing in Hop Binh Hamlet, Khanh Hop Commune, about her family being robbed of 11 taels of gold (worth nearly 50 million VND).

By the morning of June 16, 2020, it was clear that Le Van Doan, born in 1992, from Binh Luc, Ha Nam province, had committed the above theft. Khanh Hop Commune Police seized all 11 taels of gold to return to Ms. Guong.

During the investigation, Khanh Hop Commune Police determined that Le Van Doan had lived in Khanh Hop Commune for nearly a year and worked as a carpenter near Ms. Nguyen Thi Guong's house. During his stay, Doan had established a good relationship with Ms. Guong, so he was considered a family member, and often went to Ms. Guong's house to eat with her and her two children.
After a while, Doan found out where Ms. Guong hid her assets and understood the family's lifestyle. Doan made out 2 keys to the house door and locked Ms. Guong's dressing table with the intention of stealing her assets.
Accordingly, on June 10, 2020, taking advantage of the time when Ms. Guong went to the market, Doan entered Ms. Guong's house, unlocked the dressing table and stole 7 taels of gold. When he learned that her property was stolen, Doan also encouraged Ms. Guong to report to the police, so that Ms. Guong and her neighbors would not suspect him of being the culprit, but Ms. Guong did not report it.

Then on June 12, 2020, when Ms. Guong went to her neighbor's house to help with the wedding, Doan attended the wedding but returned early to enter Ms. Guong's house to continue stealing property. This time, Doan stole 4 taels of gold, then took all the personal belongings in the closet and threw them out, in order to create a fake scene.
