Go Vap District Police, Ho Chi Minh City has just prosecuted and temporarily detained the above subject, Trinh Hoang Tu (35 years old, residing in Hoc Mon District) for the crime of "Extortion of property". Tu is a drug addict, with 3 previous convictions for the crimes of "Robbery" and "Extortion of property".
According to initial information, from the end of February until now, in Go Vap district, there have been consecutive cases of staging and appropriating property with sophisticated and daring tricks.
Specifically, a number of teenagers, mostly students, were walking on the street when they were approached by a man. This man falsely accused the victim of beating his younger brother and used abusive language, threatening to stab, slash, and even revealed a hidden weapon on his person.
The subject asked the victim to get in the car to take him to meet his younger brother for questioning. However, when they arrived at another location, the subject asked the victim to hand over his phone for inspection or his backpack, then quickly sped away.
The perpetrator sometimes lives in Go Vap district but sometimes takes the victim to other areas.
Upon receiving the report, Go Vap District Police began an investigation. During this period, social media also warned about a series of similar staged robberies of students in Binh Tan and Tan Phu districts. Assuming that the perpetrators were likely the same person, Go Vap District Police established a special project to fight.
Using professional measures, the investigation team identified the suspect as Trinh Hoang Tu and recently arrested him.
Tu admitted to committing 6 cases of extortion in Go Vap, 12, Tan Phu districts... In addition, Tu admitted to many other cases, and the police are identifying the victims to clarify the matter.
The seized assets were phones and laptops, which Tu sold to buy drugs for personal use and expenses.
According to the police, Tu targeted innocent young victims, mainly students, using abusive and threatening words to intimidate them. Notably, Tu ordered many fake motorcycle license plates, and after each crime, he changed the license plate to a new one to mislead the investigation agency.
Currently, Go Vap District Police are coordinating with police from other districts to expand the investigation and request that anyone who is a victim of Trinh Hoang Tu contact and report as soon as possible.
