According to the report, on March 18, 2026, Ms. Nguyen Thi Tuyen (born in 1987, residing in Hiep Cuong commune, Hung Yen province) was driving a motorbike with license plate 89B1-611.80 to buy goods at a shop on the side of National Highway 39, in Luong Hoi village, Luong Bang commune, Hung Yen province. When entering to buy goods, Ms. Tuyen forgot to close the motorbike's trunk.
At this time, a young man wearing black clothes, wearing a black helmet, driving a black Wave RSX motorbike (unknown license plate), wearing a mask, came to ask to buy goods. Taking advantage of the loophole, the subject took Ms. Tuyen's white handbag in the motorbike's trunk and drove the motorbike away.
