According to investigation documents, on the morning of July 23, Nghi Loc District Police received a report from Mr. Nguyen Van Viet (born in 1991), Hamlet 1, Nghia Binh, Tan Ky: At about 1:00 a.m. on July 23, when Mr. Viet returned from work, he discovered that his Yamaha Sirius motorbike with license plate number 37B1-023.32, which was left at the boarding house of Nguyen Duy Son (born in 1964) in Hamlet 11, Nghi Xa Commune, Nghi Loc, had been stolen.

After receiving the information, Nghi Loc District Police sent investigators to the scene to collect evidence. While the case was under investigation, on the morning of July 28, Nghi Loc District Police continued to receive a report from Mr. Cao Ngoc Yen (born in 1994), residing in Dinh Tien Commune, Yen Dinh District, Thanh Hoa, also about: on the evening of July 27, a thief stole a black and silver Yamaha Sirius motorbike; License plate: 37P7-6365 when he parked the motorbike at Mr. Nguyen Duy Son's boarding house.

Faced with this situation, Nghi Loc District Police established Project 617X and quickly fought to clarify the case. According to the victims' statements, the boarding house often left the gate unlocked, and the motorbikes were parked in the yard and were all carefully locked. However, after returning from the night shift, they could not find their property. By using synchronous professional measures, the Project Team checked and set up suspicious subjects in the area, but there were no clues.

When the project was facing difficulties, on the night of August 2, the project team received important information from the detectives when they discovered a young man with many suspicious signs traveling by taxi to Nghi Xa commune. The detectives focused on monitoring all movements of the subject. When the taxi arrived at the boarding house of Mr. Nguyen Duy Son, hamlet 11, Nghi Xa, the detectives lost track of him.

The task force has determined that the subject in the taxi is the one who has committed a series of motorbike thefts in the past in Nghi Xa commune, Nghi Loc. The task force has directed a search of all the boarding houses in hamlet 11, Nghi Xa commune to find clues.

After many hours of implementing professional measures, there was a suspicious subject. Quickly verifying the identity, the Task Force obtained information that the subject was Vo Bay (born in 1990), residing in Hamlet 9, Dien Tho Commune, Dien Chau. Bay's wife was working as a worker in the Nam Cam Industrial Park and was staying at the boarding house of Mr. Nguyen Duy Son.

In addition, it is also known that Bay is a long-term drug addict. Before returning to his hometown, Bay worked as a hired hand in Ho Chi Minh City. However, recently, Bay often went to Nam Cam Industrial Park to visit his wife, but only went to his wife's room to play and left at midnight.

While the case was being investigated, on the morning of August 3, Nghi Loc District Police continued to receive a complaint from Ms. Ngo Thi Hong (born in 1992), residing in Yen Thanh District, that in the early morning of August 3, 2017, when she returned to her room from work, she discovered that her black Wave Anphal motorbike with license plate number 37P1-9676 parked in front of Mr. Nguyen Duy Son's boarding house had disappeared.

After consolidating the file, from the information and evidence collected, the Task Force identified Vo Bay as the subject who caused a series of recent motorbike thefts in Nam Cam Industrial Park. At 10:00 a.m. on August 4, 2017, the Task Force executed an emergency arrest warrant against Vo Bay for the act of property theft.

At the investigation agency, Bay confessed to all his actions. Bay said he had no money to buy drugs and his wife was about to give birth, so he was in need and thought of a way to steal property.

Realizing that the workers' boarding houses often had many people coming and going but the gates were not locked, the motorbikes were only locked with no one watching, so he bought a lock breaker to act. Late at night, he went to his wife's room and waited for her to fall asleep, then put on a sun-protective jacket, a hat, a mask and went to commit the crime.

In just 2 weeks, he successfully carried out 3 motorbike thefts and sold them to Dang Hoang (born 1985), residing in Hamlet 15, Dien Loc, Dien Chau and Phan Minh (born 1989), residing in Hamlet 14, Dien Loc, Dien Chau to get money for drugs. Hoang and Minh, although knowing that the motorbike was stolen by Bay, because of greed, bought it back at a cheap price and then sold it to someone else.

The case is currently under further investigation./.
