According to initial investigation, Dan used to be a car repairman in front of the headquarters of Traffic Control Patrol Team No. 2 (in charge of National Highway 20, under the Traffic Police Department of Dong Nai Province Police).

Recently, Dan went into residential areas in Thong Nhat District to look for truck, tractor, and tricycle drivers, then claimed to be a traffic police officer, who could help these drivers avoid traffic violations, in order to defraud and appropriate property.

Initially, Dan confessed to the police that he had defrauded more than 20 people, appropriating a total of nearly 100 million VND. The case is being further investigated and clarified by Thong Nhat District Police.
