Professional thief broke into your safe and stole more than 220 million VND

On May 22, Yen Thanh District Police received a report from Ms. Bui Thi Hoa (born in 1973), residing in Nam Phuong Son hamlet, Xuan Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district, that her family had just been broken into by a thief who broke into the safe and stole more than 220 million VND and some other valuable assets.

Upon receiving the report, Yen Thanh District Police immediately sent a working group to quickly arrive at Ms. Hoa's home to conduct a crime scene investigation, collect relevant evidence, assess the nature of the incident, and establish a special project to investigate and clarify.

Through some information just grasped and evidence collected at the scene, the Investigation Committee determined that the property theft at Ms. Hoa's house was quite complicated in nature, carried out by professional criminals.

Using professional measures, the Task Force organized a review, screening, and verification of the movements of dozens of suspicious subjects in the area and surrounding areas. Through the review, it was found that Hoang Danh Huy (born in 1993), residing in Hamlet 1, Bac Thanh Commune, Yen Thanh District, had many unclear signs regarding time and money. In addition, Huy also had a criminal record for "Theft of property" and was rarely present in the area. However, after the theft at Ms. Hoa's house, Huy left the area and recently bought a new motorbike.

Through various professional measures and sources of information, the Investigation Committee has sufficient grounds to confirm that Hoang Danh Huy is the subject who committed the theft at Ms. Hoa's family. At around 7:30 p.m. the same day (May 22), at Nghe An Lung Hospital, Yen Thanh District Police detectives executed an arrest warrant for Hoang Danh Huy while he was taking care of a relative there.

At the investigation agency, Hoang Danh Huy initially confessed and admitted his crime. Exploring the subject, Hoang Danh Huy confessed his accomplice, Truong Dang Cung (born in 1977), residing in Tho Xuan hamlet, Xuan Thanh commune, Yen Thanh district.

According to the initial statements of the subjects, Huy had previously known Thai Huu Canh Quang, the son of Mrs. Bui Thi Hoa (the person who reported the loss of property). Huy had visited Mr. Quang's house many times and knew that Mr. Quang's family had just bought a car, so he thought that this family had a lot of money. Recently, Huy complained to Cung about having financial difficulties but did not know how to handle it. Huy discussed with Cung breaking into Mrs. Hoa's house to steal property to get money for personal expenses and to solve personal matters.

After stealing the property, Huy divided 21 million VND to Cung, buried 100 million VND in the backyard, and used the remaining amount to buy a YAMAHA Exciter 150 motorbike worth more than 28 million VND and kept a portion for personal use. As for the IPhone 5S mobile phone and the watch, Huy hid them in a deserted cave on the mountain in Trung Thanh commune, quite far from his house, to avoid detection by the investigation agency.

It is known that Hoang Danh Huy has a previous conviction for “Theft of property” and is rarely present in the locality, so the initial investigation and verification by the investigating agency encountered many difficulties. As for Truong Dang Cung, he is a local, has no stable job and often associates with bad people in society.

Currently, Yen Thanh District Police are consolidating the case file to prosecute the case and prosecute the above subjects according to the provisions of law./.
