Previously, on the night of August 6, Nghi Xa Commune Police Department received a report from the people of Hamlet 9, Nghi Xa Commune, stating that the family of Ms. Nguyen Thi T. in this hamlet had their house broken into by a thief, who stole 2 mobile phones and 200 USD. The total value of the stolen property was over 22 million VND. The family and people suspected that Nguyen Dinh Hieu, who lives in the same hamlet, was involved in the theft.
Upon receiving the report, Nghi Xa Commune Police conducted verification and then invited Nguyen Dinh Hieu to the Commune Police Office to work. After a long period of using professional measures, Nghi Xa Commune Police successfully fought, forcing Hieu to confess his crime.
According to Hieu's statement: Due to poverty and laziness, the subject thought of stealing to have money to spend. Knowing that Ms. Nguyen Thi T.'s family in the same neighborhood had a husband who was abroad, Hieu targeted this family. On the afternoon of July 31, when he knew Ms. Trang was not home, Hieu went to her house, crawled through the bathroom vent and broke into Ms. T's room.
Here, the subject searched the handbag and stole a US dollar bill worth 100 dollars and a Samsung A9 phone worth 11 million VND that was on the bedside table. Then the subject returned to Ms. T's house a second time, rummaged through her belongings, and stole another Appo phone worth 7.1 million VND and a US dollar bill also worth 100 dollars.
After two thefts, Hieu sold two cell phones and $100 to spend. The remaining $100 bill, Hieu bragged to his friends that he had found it. This information reached Ms. T., causing suspicion.
The case is currently being investigated by the authorities.
