Arresting a group of people who staged robberies at dawn

(Baonghean.vn)- By trickery, blending into a group of people waiting for the bus, discovering someone's carelessness, 1 subject rushed to rob the property, the remaining 2 subjects pretended to chase to catch the "robber" to hinder the chaser.

According to the statement of Ms. Duong Thi Phuong (born in 1991), residing in Hung Binh ward, Vinh city, the incident of having her phone robbed happened at 5:00 a.m. on October 3, when she went to the bus stop in block 9, Quang Trung ward, Vinh city to go to Dien Chau district. Here, in addition to Ms. Phuong and 2 middle-aged men, there were 3 young men waiting for the bus. Among them, a young man with dyed blond hair, about 1.6m tall, wearing flip-flops, stood close to Ms. Phuong and asked as if to probe: Where are you going so early?. I have something to do in Dien Chau - Ms. Phuong replied.

When Ms. Phuong took out her Galaxy S7 mobile phone to make a call, suddenly a young man standing next to her snatched the phone and ran away. Two young men standing next to her also ran after the robber while Ms. Phuong shouted, but they did not return.

Subjects Cao Xuan Cuong (blond hair) and Chu Hong Son

Determining that the three subjects were likely from the same group that committed the robbery, the Vinh City Police leadership assigned the Criminal Police Team to urgently investigate and clarify the matter.

A reconnaissance team checked the subject who robbed Ms. Phuong's phone, which had dyed yellow hair; another reconnaissance team checked all groups of subjects aged 17 - 22, unemployed, often hanging out in Vinh City and neighboring districts, focusing on subjects and groups of subjects from other localities.

Using synchronous professional measures, the detectives discovered a subject with characteristics similar to the victim's description. During the surveillance process, the detectives discovered that this subject often went with 2 other young men aged 17 - 21, speaking the local accents of Thanh Chuong and Quy Hop. Every day, these 3 subjects often went to internet cafes to play games, at night they went to restaurants to eat and drink, then returned to a motel in Hung Binh ward, Vinh city.

The identities of the above subjects were soon clarified: The subject with dyed yellow hair is Cao Xuan Cuong (born in 1996), residing in Hamlet 7, Thanh Duc Commune, Thanh Chuong District. The two remaining subjects are Cao Xuan Thong (born in 2000), residing in the same commune as Cuong, and Chu Hong Son (born in 1996), residing in Chau Dinh Commune, Quy Hop District. Cuong and Thong are cousins.

After 1 week of collecting all documents and evidence, on October 9, Vinh City Police leaders decided to urgently arrest Chu Hong Son and Cao Xuan Cuong for robbery while they were at a motel in Hung Binh ward.

At the investigation agency, Cuong and Son confessed to their crimes. To have money to have fun and rent a motel, Cuong, Son and Thong planned together to commit robberies of women in Vinh City. After surveying, knowing that at bus stops in Vinh City there were many people waiting for the bus, including women who often carried expensive handbags and cell phones, these subjects came up with a "script" of action.

At 4:30 a.m. on October 3, three subjects left the motel to hire a taxi to the bus stop in Quang Trung ward. They mingled with the passengers waiting for the bus to commit the robbery as planned. There, seeing Ms. Phuong take out her phone to make a call, knowing it was an expensive phone (Ms. Phuong had just bought it for 17 million), Thong and Son signaled Cuong to act. Seeing Ms. Phuong engrossed in a phone call, Cuong immediately approached and snatched the phone from Ms. Phuong's hand and fled back to the motel. Hearing Ms. Phuong shout "robbery, robbery", Son and Thong immediately "chased" to "catch the robber".

When they arrived at the motel in Hung Binh ward, they went to have breakfast together, then sold the stolen phone for 7 million VND to spend. Knowing that Son and Cuong were arrested, Cao Xuan Thong immediately ran away. However, using professional measures, the Criminal Police Department of Vinh City Police arrested Thong to clarify the act of robbery.

On October 11, the Vinh City Police Department initiated a criminal case, prosecuted the accused, and issued a decision to detain Cao Xuan Cuong and Chu Hong Son for robbery. As for Cao Xuan Thong, the Vinh City Police Department is currently holding him in criminal custody to consolidate his records and evidence.

Currently, the case is being further investigated by the Vinh City Police Department.
