Accordingly, from the second half of February and the second half of March 2017, in Yen Thanh and Dien Chau districts, many cases of property loss occurred at Catholic churches, causing outrage among the general public and the majority of parishioners in particular.

Project 37KT was established to fight and clarify the subject. After nearly 1 month of focused investigation, the police identified the perpetrator as Ha Van Lai (born in 1986, residing in Xuan An hamlet, Hong Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district).

Although the subject had fled to Laos, with many professional measures and the help of the Laotian police, Lai was arrested and extradited back to his country.
