Repeatedly punched taxi driver, stole car

Luong Van Dung pretended to call a taxi late at night, then repeatedly punched the driver and stole the car on a deserted road.

Dung, 26, from Yen Dung ward, is currently in criminal detention by the Criminal Police Department of Bac Ninh Provincial Police for property robbery.

Dung confessed to owing about 200 million VND, which led him to plan the robbery to sell the car for personal expenses.

Around 11:30 p.m. on 25/6, Dung hailed a taxi driven by Huy from Minh Phuong residential area. During the trip, he repeatedly asked the driver to change destinations.

Upon reaching a deserted area in Tan Do residential area, Dung borrowed Huy's phone, claiming he needed to call a family member for payment. Taking advantage of the driver's distraction, Dung suddenly attacked, repeatedly punching the victim in the face before stealing the car.

Bac Ninh Provincial Police mobilized over 30 officers to track down and apprehend the suspect that same night while he was hiding at a guesthouse in Que Vo ward.
