Many new details surrounding the scandal at Tu Bac supermarket

(Baonghean.vn) – The scandal at Tu Bac supermarket (Dinh Cong Trang, Vinh City) is increasingly attracting public attention. According to Vinh City Police, the arrest and urgent search of two people named Cuong and Hung was in accordance with regulations.

As of this morning, July 23, Vinh City Police are still detaining Nguyen Canh Cuong (28 years old, temporarily residing in Nghi Phu commune, Vinh city) and Nguyen Van Hung (nicknamed Hung Dem, 49 years old, residing in Nghi Phu commune) to investigate the act of property destruction.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Huu Cuong - Deputy Chief of Vinh City Police, said: Through investigation and security cameras recorded at Tu Bac supermarket, it was shown that on the afternoon of July 14, Nguyen Canh Cuong and Nguyen Van Hung (Cuong's friend) came to Tu Bac supermarket to curse. During the cursing, Cuong used his right hand to slap Bac's left cheek.

Seeing two 800 gram boxes of Glioco milk on the cashier's counter waiting for customers to pay, Mr. Hung said to Mr. Cuong: "Take two boxes of milk and throw them out onto the street for me."

Hearing Hung say that, Mr. Cuong took the two boxes of milk and threw them onto Dinh Cong Trang street, causing the milk powder to spill everywhere. At about 5:50 p.m. the same day, Mr. Hung continued to point at the milk shelf and said to Mr. Cuong: "Just take all the milk and throw it to me."

Nguyen Canh Cuong took milk from Tu Bac supermarket and threw it out on the street.

Mr. Cuong went to the shelf, took two 800-gram Glico milk boxes, and threw them onto the sidewalk, on Dinh Cong Trang street. Then, Mr. Cuong went back in, took three 800-gram Glico milk boxes, and threw them onto the street, screaming and cursing. The amount of milk that Mr. Hung and Mr. Cuong smashed was 7 800-gram Glico milk boxes, causing a loss of 3,745 million VND.

Upon receiving the report, Vinh City Police coordinated with Police 113, Vinh City People's Procuracy and Le Mao Ward Police to go to the scene to investigate and verify according to regulations. The parties were invited to Le Mao Ward Police headquarters to work.

Here, Ms. Cao Thi Hoai Nhung (Mr. Cuong's wife) met Ms. Bac, left 2.7 million VND on the desk and said that it was to pay for the milk that her husband and Hung had broken and then left. However, Ms. Bac did not accept this money. The police immediately made a record and sealed the money.

After collecting evidence and with the approval of the Vinh City People's Procuracy, the Vinh City Police Investigation Agency issued an arrest warrant and emergency search of Nguyen Canh Cuong and Nguyen Van Hung.

During the search of Nguyen Canh Cuong's rented room, the police seized 3 800 gram Glico milk cartons (already used) and 1 used 800 gram Glico milk carton, with a little milk left in the carton.

Continuing to search Nguyen Van Hung's residence, the police seized a used 800 gram box of Glico milk, with some powdered milk inside. In particular, the police seized a small package of heroin, a police uniform (Lieutenant Colonel), a pair of handcuffs and two swords.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Cuong, after destroying property, Nguyen Canh Cuong returned the next evening to threaten to shoot the supermarket owner. The fact that Nguyen Canh Cuong's wife brought money for five boxes of milk to the police station is only a mitigating factor.

It is known that Nguyen Van Hung has 6 previous convictions for theft, illegal drug trafficking, and gambling.

The case is being investigated and clarified by the police.
