On April 20, 2018, the People's Procuracy of Do Luong District (Nghe An) approved the Decision to prosecute the accused and the order to temporarily detain Vo Van Vinh (born in 1995, residing in Hamlet 4, Minh Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District) for 4 months by the Investigation Police Agency of Do Luong District Police to investigate the act of Robbery.
According to the initial investigation results, at around 9:00 a.m. on April 2, 2018, Ms. NTT (born in 1958, residing in Hoa Son commune, Do Luong) was being driven by her husband on a motorbike. When she reached the intersection between National Highway 7A and Road N5, a young man on a motorbike without a license plate approached and tried to snatch her gold necklace but failed.
Upon receiving the victim's report, Do Luong District Police made a plan and sent experienced detectives to collect evidence, verify, and investigate the suspect.
After the verification process, Vo Van Vinh was invited to the police station for questioning. Knowing that he could not hide it, Vinh bowed his head and confessed to all his crimes.
Vinh stated that, in addition to the failed robbery of Ms. T's gold necklace, this young man had previously committed three other robberies.
On February 11, 2018, Vinh drove his motorbike to Do Luong district. When he reached Thinh Son commune, he saw Ms. NTH (born in 1952, residing in Hoa Son commune) sitting behind the motorbike. Vinh ran after her. When he reached the middle of the field, he pressed close and pulled hard on the gold bracelet on Ms. H's left ear, but failed, so he sped away.
On March 6, Vinh continued to ride his motorbike to “hunt”. When he arrived at Block 7, Do Luong town, Vinh approached and snatched the gold earring of Ms. Nguyen Thi H. (born in 1960, residing in Da Son commune, Do Luong district). After that, Vinh rode his motorbike to Yen Thanh district and sold the earring for 3.4 million VND.
On March 20, Vinh continued to snatch a gold earring from Ms. Nguyen Thi L. and sold it for 2.4 million VND. Vinh used all the money from the sale to spend.
Vo Van Vinh also confessed to committing many robberies in other localities with similar behavior and methods. However, because the police have not yet identified the victim, the investigation is still ongoing.
