Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City police seek individuals for alleged fraud and asset misappropriation

Police in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City have launched investigations into separate incidents of alleged fraud and asset misappropriation.

In Hanoi, the Municipal Police Investigation Agency has issued a search decision for Le Ngoc Thanh, born in 1984, in connection with an investigation into the abuse of trust to appropriate property. Authorities have not yet determined Thanh's current location and are requesting that anyone with information contact the Hanoi Police at 0839.188.222 or the nearest local police station.

In Ho Chi Minh City, authorities have temporarily detained Nguyen Thi Ngoc Tuyet, born in 1976, and Nguyen Trong Nghia, born in 1964, for allegedly defrauding local merchants. According to Xuan Thoi Son Commune Police, the suspects reportedly targeted vegetable and fruit vendors by creating chaotic situations to distract owners. They would allegedly claim to pay with a 500,000 VND note and demand change, while in reality, no money was provided. The investigation into these incidents is ongoing.
