At the end of the year, Mr. PDT (37 years old) living on Street No. 8 (Ward 5, Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City) went on a trip with his family. On the 5th day of the Lunar New Year (February 1), Mr. T's family returned home to find the door open and many objects in disarray.
Upon inspection, it was discovered that the safe had been broken into. The homeowner reported that the stolen property included a diamond ring, 70 taels of gold, and 470 million VND in cash. The total amount stolen was nearly 1.1 billion VND.
Immediately after that, Mr. T. went to the police station to report. Currently, Go Vap District Police are coordinating with the Ho Chi Minh City Police Department to investigate and examine the scene to identify the suspect.
Similarly, on January 27 (ie 30th of the Lunar New Year), Mr. NTV's family (46 years old), residing in Binh An ward (District 2, Ho Chi Minh City) locked their house to return to Nha Trang city to celebrate Tet.
However, on January 28 (the first day of Tet), Mr. V's family turned on their phone to check the security camera system and found it was broken, so they called Ms. TTTT (26 years old; maid) to ask her to come to the house to check.
When she arrived, Ms. T. saw that the safe had been broken. The homeowner reported losing nearly 1.7 billion VND, including 30 gold bars, 20,000 USD, 40 million VND and many pieces of jewelry...
According to Ho Chi Minh City police, during last year's Tet holiday, there were 31 robberies, of which more than half were planned to target wealthy families./.
