Picked up lost property, 'blackmailed' the owner and the ending
In life, there are many people who, when picking up "lost property", try all means to contact and return the property to the owner. However, recently, there have been some cases where people who picked up "lost property" have used all means to demand ransom from the owner.
At around 11:00 a.m. on May 17, 2019, Nguyen Thanh Dung (born in 1992, in Gia Lam district, Hanoi) was driving a motorbike to road 379B in Van Giang town when he picked up a wallet containing: household registration book, citizen identification card, driver's license, car registration and many other important documents under the name of Quan Duc Huy (born in 1991, in Nghia Tru commune, Van Giang district, Hung Yen). Realizing that these were all important documents, Dung immediately had the idea of demanding ransom.

On the same day, Dung contacted Mr. Huy by phone to "offer" a ransom of 15 million VND and set a location for delivery. Afraid of being discovered by the police, Dung sent Mr. Huy to 4 different locations in the Ecopark urban area of Van Giang district.
While Dung was receiving money from Huy at the foot of the bridge in the Ecopark urban area, he was arrested by Van Giang District Police. At the investigation agency, Dung confessed that the purpose of sending Huy to many locations was because he was afraid of being followed and arrested by the police force and was afraid that when receiving the money, he would be beaten by Huy's relatives.
Captain Nguyen Van Hieu - Deputy Head of the Criminal Investigation Team of Van Giang District Police (Hung Yen Province) warned people that when they fall into similar situations, they should report to the police agency to coordinate measures to arrest the subjects, and should not arbitrarily give money to the subjects...
On May 24, the Investigation Police Agency of Van Giang District Police issued a decision to prosecute Nguyen Thanh Dung for the crime of "Extortion of property".
