Having a criminal record, just released from prison, but 2 subjects in Hai Duong invited each other to rob a phone.
At about 8:10 p.m. on July 25, Nguyen Van Thinh (born in 1987), who was renting a room in Binh Han ward, Hai Duong city, and Pham Phu Thong (born in 1996) in Kien Quoc commune (Ninh Giang) rode a Yamaha Jupiter motorbike without a license plate to the front door of 385 Bui Thi Xuan and saw Ms. PNDA (born in 2006) in Nguyen Trai ward holding an iPhone 12 Promax (worth about 10 million VND) sitting behind Ms. NTH's motorbike (born in 2006) in Pham Ngu Lao ward.
Seeing a "delicious bait", Thong approached the motorbike, let Thinh sit behind, snatched PNDA's phone, then accelerated and ran away.
Hai Duong City Police discovered, pursued, and then arrested Thinh and Thong, confiscating the vehicle and evidence of the case.
Through investigation, the two subjects confessed that they had taken advantage of people's carelessness when using their phones to commit 10 robberies of phones in Hai Duong City. They then sold them at used phone collection points to get money to spend.
Thinh had 3 previous convictions for theft and was released from prison at the end of 2023. Thong had 1 previous conviction for illegal possession of drugs and was released from prison in March.
