These two subjects were arrested by detectives of Anh Son District Police and the Criminal Police Department of the Provincial Police while standing in front of a motel in Anh Son town. Both Hung and Binh were accused of committing many thefts by picking the trunks of motorbikes.
Previously, Anh Son District Police received many reports of several cases of money being stolen from motorbike trunks in the district, causing anxiety and insecurity among the people. Determining that these were cases caused by professional, mobile thieves, the leaders of Anh Son District Police directed the professional teams to actively carry out measures to investigate and clarify the matter.
The reconnaissance force was divided into many working groups, focusing on investigation and verification in different directions. In addition, coordinating with professional departments and police of Tan Ky, Do Luong, Thanh Chuong districts... and establishing disguised and undercover teams to conduct 24/24 hour patrols to close the area.
On February 9, detectives from Anh Son District Police and the Provincial Police Department's Criminal Police discovered a suspicious couple at a motel in Anh Son town. Upon approaching the subject, an administrative check was conducted and found that the male subject was carrying a package of white powder, suspected to be heroin.
The two subjects were brought to the district police station and identified as Ho Sy Hung (born 1978) and Nguyen Thi Binh (born 1971).
At the police station, the subjects initially confessed that the evidence seized by the police was heroin, which they carried with them for use.
Continuing to expand the investigation, the two subjects confessed that they were preparing to commit a theft in Anh Son district when they were arrested. In addition, they also confessed that from November 2017 to now, they have committed 3 thefts in many districts.
In mid-November 2017, Hung and Binh took advantage of a loophole in the trunk of a car to steal 34 million VND from Ms. Nguyen Thi Hang (residing in Ngoc Son commune, Thanh Chuong) when Ms. Hang went to receive money in Dung town, Thanh Chuong district.
Then, in mid-December 2017, Hung and Binh picked the trunk of the car of Tran Thi An and her husband (living in Tan Lam village, Cam Son commune, Anh Son district) and stole 100 million VND when she had just received the money at Cay Chanh Agricultural Bank, Dinh Son.
Most recently, in mid-January 2018, Hung and Binh continued to pick the trunk of a man's car in Lat town, Tan Ky district, stealing 30 million VND when he had just received money at a bank.
According to the police, the methods of these two subjects are very reckless and sophisticated. They often wait in front of the gates of banks and treasuries in the districts to observe and monitor. When people receive money and put it in the trunk of their motorbikes, they follow. Taking advantage of the moment when the victims are not paying attention, they approach, pick the trunk of the motorbike, steal the money and quickly escape.
Currently, the Investigation Police Agency of Anh Son District Police is coordinating with relevant units to establish a case file and continue to investigate and expand the case, handling the subjects in accordance with the law.
