Decision to issue an arrest warrant for Nguyen Quoc Thinh

Initial investigations revealed that: After closing his shop for several days to visit his family, on the afternoon of January 31, 2025, Mr. Nguyen Hoang Thanh Duoc (born in 1985) returned to his shop on Lam Quang Ky Street, Vinh Lac Ward, Rach Gia City, Kien Giang Province (now Rach Gia Ward, An Giang Province) and discovered signs of a break-in.

Upon checking, he discovered that 17kg of various types of dried squid (worth over 15 million VND) were missing, so he reported it to the police. Through investigation, the police quickly identified and summoned Nguyen Quoc Thinh to the station for questioning.

Initially, Thinh confessed that upon discovering that Mr. Duoc's shop was locked and unattended, he decided to break in and steal property.
