(Baonghean.vn) - Taking advantage of the parents picking up their children but leaving the car door open, Ngo quickly stole money and valuables. He gave all the stolen money to prostitutes.

Previously, from October 27 to November 2, Le Loi Ward police (Vinh City) received reports from two victims that a subject opened their car door, took their wallet and stole money.

At 7:00 a.m. on October 27, after picking up her child at ABC Kindergarten, Ms. Phan Thi L. (born in 1982), living in block 3, Trung Do ward (Vinh city) went to Blue Sky Kindergarten (Le Loi ward, Vinh city) to pick up her second child. Ms. L. parked her car in front of the school gate, locked the car but opened the glass door so that her child could sit in the car and then entered the school.

When she got to the car, Ms. L. heard her child report that a man got into the car and invited her to play hide and seek and then opened her mother's wallet. She was startled and opened her bag to see that 4.7 million VND had disappeared.

Then, at around 6:45 a.m. on November 2, Ms. Nguyen Thi Ng. (born in 1982) in Dai Loi Block, Dong Vinh Ward (Vinh City) left her child in the car (locked but with the windows down) and took him to Le Loi Primary School.

When she got out of the car, she discovered a suspicious young man had just left the car, just as the car alarm went off, she and the security guard chased after him but he escaped. Checking the property in the car, she discovered that the handbag left in the back of the car with 4 million VND had been taken by the thief.

Based on the citizen's report, Le Loi Ward Police monitored and ambushed the school gates during pick-up and drop-off times. On the afternoon of November 3, when the subject was loitering in front of the school gate to continue his "profession", he was arrested by the police.

Subject Ngo confessed his theft at Le Loi Ward Police Station.

At the police station, the suspect declared his name as Le Van Ngo (born in 1990), residing in block 7, Quy Hop town.

Ngo confessed that from August until his arrest, he had successfully committed 12 thefts of money and phones worth tens of millions of dong in Vinh city, mainly on Nguyen Thai Hoc, Chu Van An and Doan Nhu Hai streets (Le Loi ward).

Ngo often takes advantage of the time when parents take their children to school by car but leave the doors unlocked when getting out to take action.

Confessing to the authorities, the thief said that he spent all the money he got from the thefts on prostitutes. This was also his hobby. He even confessed that he once stole money from prostitutes.

Currently, Le Loi Ward Police have handed over the subject to Vinh City Police for handling. The police agency announced that anyone who is Ngo's victim should come to the police agency to report the incident.
