While serving his suspended sentence, Nguyen Cong An applied for a job as a welder for a mechanical company near his home with a fairly stable income. Due to his wasteful spending, An decided to return to his old “job” to earn money to satisfy his personal needs.
To avoid detection by authorities, An bought an old motorbike and installed a fake license plate to practice his trade.
During the day, An went to work at the company, and at night, An rode his motorbike around the streets looking for “prey”. The targets An targeted were women riding motorbikes alone, carrying handbags. After traveling a long distance, to a deserted area, An accelerated, trying to approach and snatch the bag.
Initial investigation revealed that from November 2018 to the end of March 2019, Nguyen Cong An successfully carried out 8 robberies of handbags containing phones, gold, and cash.
After the robbery, An drove down to Ben Thuy bridge, threw the victim's documents into Lam river, and sold or kept the remaining property for personal use.
The case is being further investigated by Vinh City Police.
