Yesterday afternoon, wearing a face mask, Dung parked his motorbike in front of Kim Phat Nguyen 3 gold shop on Vo Van Van Street, Tan Vinh Loc Commune (formerly Binh Chanh District). He entered and pretended to be interested in buying a one-chi gold ring worth 35 million VND.
After examining the ring, Dung suddenly ran to his motorbike and sped off. A female employee chased him, grabbing his shirt, but he dragged her for a short distance, causing minor injuries, before escaping.
