Lam Dong arrests subject who appropriated more than 5.4 billion VND from the bank

The Criminal Police Department of Lam Dong Province Police said that the unit has just arrested Huynh Van Thuong (born in 1985, residing in Phan Thiet Ward, Lam Dong Province). This is a subject wanted by the Investigation Police Department of the Provincial Police since January 12, 2024, for the crime of "Abuse of trust to appropriate property".

According to investigation documents, around May 2019, Thuong introduced himself as an acquaintance of many bank officials in the province, often standing up to "help" people who borrowed money from banks when the due date did not have enough money to pay to complete loan settlement procedures. Taking advantage of this trick, Thuong borrowed money from many people, then used money from the later lender to pay part of the principal and interest to the people Thuong borrowed from earlier. By June 2022, when he was unable to pay, Thuong fled the locality, appropriating a total of more than 5.4 billion VND from the victims.

In 2024, Huynh Van Thuong was issued a special wanted notice by the Police Department.

To hide, Thuong moved through many localities. Then, he rented a house in Quang Lap commune, Lam Dong province, using the fake name "Phuong" to hide his identity. Using professional measures, the police force determined Thuong's residence and planned to arrest him. On the evening of September 26, 2025, when Thuong left his house, detectives suddenly approached, controlled and arrested him.

The subject has been transferred to the Provincial Police Detention Center to serve the investigation and handling according to the provisions of law.
