At the police station, Toan confessed to committing the theft. Between the beginning of 2013 and the present, he had successfully carried out numerous motorcycle thefts in various localities of Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, and Ha Tinh provinces.

According to Lieutenant Le Xuan Dong, Deputy Head of the Criminal Investigation Team for Social Order: Recently, there have been many cases of motorbike theft in the town. The criminals' modus operandi is to take advantage of people's carelessness when leaving motorbikes on the street or in offices and public buildings without supervision, breaking locks to steal them. Nguyen Van Toan, in particular, has two previous convictions for theft and was only released from prison at the beginning of 2013.

The case is currently under further investigation.
