Immediately after receiving the report, the working group of Thanh Chuong District Police was present at the scene, investigating and clarifying. After conducting a crime scene investigation, collecting documents, evidence and verifying and screening inside and outside the area, the working group found a number of suspicious subjects. Among them was Tran VH, who had many unclear signs about money. Although he was an 8th grade student and his family was in difficult circumstances, H had just bought himself a new, luxurious Iphone.
After collecting all the documents and evidence to prove the crime, on September 26, Thanh Chuong District Police identified Tran VH as the perpetrator of the theft at Ms. Thinh's house, confiscating 16,600,000 VND and an Iphone 8 mobile phone that H. used the stolen money to buy and use.
At the police station, Tran VH confessed to all his crimes. Accordingly, on the evening of September 22, after wandering around, when passing by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thinh's house and seeing that no one was home, H. had the greed to steal property to get money to spend. Going around the house, discovering a small ventilation window in Mrs. Thinh's bedroom, H. climbed up and broke the door to jump in and stole 40 million VND. After that, H. brought the money home, went to the garden to dig the ground to hide it. A few days later, H. dug it up and took the money to buy an Iphone 8 worth 23 million VND.
Because he is a minor, the Investigation Police Agency (Thanh Chuong District Police) has handed over the subject Tran V. H to the authorities, school and family for further management, deterrence and education and completed the procedures to return the above assets to the victim.
