Immediately after receiving the report, the police officers of Ky Son district coordinated with the police department of Huu Kiem commune to be present at the scene, collecting documents and evidence. At the same time, they checked, isolated and screened suspicious subjects inside and outside the area. Thanks to the synchronous implementation of professional measures, on May 22, the authorities quickly identified Kha Thi Huong as the culprit who stole the two cows of Mr. Tuan and Ms. Khuyen.

Huong was arrested by the authorities shortly afterwards. At the police station, Kha Thi Huong initially gave a evasive statement, trying to deny her crime. However, with solid evidence from the investigation agency, Huong confessed to her crime. Accordingly, taking advantage of the fact that the cows were grazing freely in the forest without anyone watching them, Kha Thi Huong stole cows from Ms. Khuyen and Mr. Tuan and then sold them to a man in Chieu Luu commune for 29,600,000 VND.

Currently, the Criminal Police Department of Ky Son District has found the cow and returned it to the owners.
