Afraid of being infected with HIV from the needle, Mr. S. gave Thien a pair of fighting cocks so that this robber could sell them to get money for drugs.

According to the initial investigation results, on February 4, because he had no money to buy drugs, Thien had the idea of robbing a passerby. After that, this young man drove his motorbike to a deserted road in Phu Thanh commune, Phu Tan district to find "prey". Here, when he discovered that Mr. Do Van S. was riding a motorbike alone and was carrying 2 chickens on the motorbike, Thien immediately turned his motorbike to chase after him. When he approached Mr. S., Thien used the syringe he had on him to threaten and force him to give up the 2 chickens. After committing the act, Thien got on his motorbike and escaped.
Upon receiving information from Mr. S., the police force of Phu Thanh commune tracked down and arrested Thien when he was preparing to sell the "loot" he had just robbed. At the police station, Thien admitted to all his crimes and said that because he was addicted to drugs, he was desperate and took the risk.
