According to the investigation, on May 18, Son passed by the house of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Bach Lien (67 years old, Son's grandmother) and saw that the door was closed. Son knew that his grandmother was not at home so he had the intention of stealing property.
Son climbed over the wall, broke into his grandmother's house, opened the safe and stole more than 74 million VND.
Son took the stolen money home and hid it. That same afternoon, Son bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max worth nearly 35 million VND as a gift for his girlfriend.
