On January 13, Cua Tung Commune Police (Quang Tri province) informed that, from people's reports, the unit had verified and returned the amount of 205 million VND mistakenly transferred by people from other provinces.
Previously, on January 9, Mr. Tran Van Son (born in 1974, owner of Son Thuy fish granary, residing in An Hoa 2 village, Cua Tung commune) came to Cua Tung Commune Police to report that his personal account suddenly received 205 million VND of unknown origin.
Through verification, the police force determined that the above amount belonged to Mr. Nguyen Hong Thai (born in 1986, residing in Nui Tuong commune, former Dong Nai province) due to negligence in the banking transaction process, so he mistakenly transferred it to Mr. Son's account.
After clarifying, Cua Tung Commune Police instructed Mr. Tran Van Son to coordinate with the bank to fully carry out the refund procedures. The entire amount of 205 million VND has been returned to Mr. Nguyen Hong Thai in accordance with legal regulations.
According to Cua Tung Commune Police, Mr. Son's proactive reporting and quick return of money shows a spirit of honesty and responsibility, contributing to spreading positive values in the community.
Through the incident, the police agency recommends that people when receiving money transferred by mistake or assets of unknown origin should proactively contact functional agencies or banks to be guided on handling in the correct order, avoiding arising unnecessary legal risks.
As Lao Dong Newspaper reported, on the evening of January 12, the Investigation Police Agency of Quang Tri Provincial Police issued a decision to prosecute the case, prosecute the defendant and issue an arrest warrant for Mr. Nguyen The Lu (born in 1992, residing in Quarter 4, old Ward 3; now Quang Tri Ward) for the crime of illegally possessing property. Previously, in November 2025, Mr. Lu's account received nearly 500 million VND transferred by mistake to Ms. Th. (residing in Lao Bao commune, Quang Tri province), a long-time business partner of Mr. Lu. Ms. Th. has repeatedly contacted and provided relevant documents to ask to receive the money back; police and local authorities came to propagate and mobilize, but Lu found many reasons not to return the money.
