It is worth mentioning that in order to easily pawn the car, Thieu and Nhat used a very sophisticated trick by adding the car owner's name to the household registration book as a member of their family.

After pawning the car from Thieu and Nhat, to avoid detection by the authorities, Ca took the car from Da Nang to his house in Nui Thanh district, Quang Nam province to hide it.

When the Criminal Police Department's working group entered Quang Nam province to collect evidence of the case, Nguyen Tien Ca fiercely resisted the task force. He used a knife, a machete, a gasoline can to resist and used chains to lock the tires and remove the battery to obstruct the working group from performing their duties. In that situation, the authorities controlled the subject and successfully collected evidence of the case to conduct an investigation.

At the police station, the subjects all admitted their crimes.
