Upon inspection, the task force discovered that the vehicle registration certificate and license plate were not issued by the competent authority. According to the driver, he bought the car from a neighbor in 2016 for 30 million VND. Because the seller had moved to another location, he had not been able to complete the transfer of ownership, and therefore he was unaware that the vehicle's documents and license plate were fake.
Upon verification, the task force discovered that the license plate belonged to a different vehicle. Verifying the actual engine and chassis numbers, it was found that this vehicle had license plate 37L1-426.66, registered in the name of Pham Van Hai, residing in Cau Giat town, Quynh Luu district. They then contacted the Cau Giat Town Police. Checking the records at the Cau Giat Town Police station revealed that on July 28, 2016, Mr. Hai reported that his motorbike had been stolen.
After verification, it was confirmed that Mr. Pham Van Hai was indeed the owner of the aforementioned vehicle. The traffic police team of Vinh City Police then proceeded to return the vehicle to the owner.
