The case file states: At around 3:00 a.m. on May 9, Le Dinh Kien, masked and wearing gloves, went to the villa of Ms. Tran Ha Q., on Ton That Thuyet Street (Song Da urban area, Ha Tinh city, Ha Tinh). |
After receiving about 50 million VND in cash, Kien saw a savings book in the safe and forced Ms. Q. to take leave from work, saying her child was sick, to withdraw the money. If she did not obey, he would kill all 4 hostages.
At 7:00 a.m. that morning, Kien asked Ms. Q. to withdraw money. Afraid that Ms. Q. would report to the police, the robber asked her to continuously call him via Face Time.
At a bank in Ha Tinh, Ms. Q. continued filming the procedure to withdraw money. However, while writing the note, she wrote down her father's phone number, a major general of the General Department of Police, along with the message "I am being held hostage by a robber", then handed the note to the bank employee.
Holding the paper, the bank employee discovered the incident, understood the meaning and called this number, reporting the information to General T..
General T. was in Ha Tinh at the time so he called two more police officers for support. After arriving at the bank and seeing that his daughter was no longer there, he went straight to her house.
On the second floor of his daughter's house, General T. saw the robber restraining his father-in-law and the maid in the bathroom. Very quickly, General T. and two associates restrained the robber and handed him over to the Ha Tinh Police to take him to the headquarters.
