Tricking jobs for many people, 'taking' 800 million VND and running away
The provincial police have arrested Dam Nam Dien (born 1983), a wanted criminal who is extremely dangerous after many years on the run.
Dam Nam Dien (residing in Hamlet 11 Be Trieu, Nuoc Hai Town, Hoa An District) was prosecuted by the Investigation Police Agency, Cao Bang Provincial Police for fraud and appropriation of property worth over 800 million VND. Specifically, Dien took advantage of the form of applying for jobs for many individuals to appropriate money from 2016 to 2018 in Cao Bang Province. On June 7, 2021, Dien was issued a particularly dangerous wanted notice.

After being wanted, Dien used many fake names and fled to China, Cambodia, and the provinces of Quang Nam, Ha Giang, Hai Phong, Lao Cai, Tuyen Quang, Vinh Phuc,... to avoid detection by authorities.
After many years of persistent verification, information collection and application of professional measures, the police force determined that Dam Nam Dien was hiding in Thai Nguyen City and frequently traveled to neighboring provinces.
On January 2, 2025, the Criminal Police Department coordinated with the Department of Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention of the Provincial Police and other professional units to successfully arrest Dam Nam Dien while he was hiding in Group 1, Tan Thinh Ward, Thai Nguyen City.
