On November 11, An Chau Commune Police (An Giang) said that the Investigation Police Agency of An Giang Province Police is temporarily detaining Nguyen Thi Hoang (born in 1977, residing in An Loi Hamlet, Lai Vung Commune, Dong Thap Province) to investigate the act of "Theft of property" occurring at a gold shop in Hoa Long 4 Hamlet, An Chau Commune.
Previously, on the afternoon of November 5, 2025, An Chau Commune Police received a report from the owner of a gold shop in Hoa Long 4 Hamlet, An Chau Commune about catching Nguyen Thi Hoang red-handed in the act of stealing a gold necklace. After receiving the report, An Chau Commune Police quickly arrived at the scene to take the subject to the headquarters for questioning.
At the police station, Hoang confessed: At about 12:35 on November 5, Hoang drove a motorbike to the "N.N.T" gold shop on Nguyen Van Cu Street, Hoa Long 4 Hamlet, An Chau Commune to buy gold. When the staff took many types of gold to show, Hoang continuously asked to take more. Taking advantage of the employee's lack of attention, Hoang secretly stole a square round gold necklace, 18k gold, weighing 5.8 taels (total value of nearly 50 million VND) and hid it in his jacket bag.
The Investigation Police Agency of An Giang Province Police continues to investigate and clarify handling according to the provisions of law.
