Da Nang Woman Pushed Down, Robbed of Backpack Containing VND 45 Million

A woman in Hoa Xuan Ward, Da Nang, was violently shoved to the ground and robbed of a backpack containing VND 45 million (around USD 1,800) while standing outside a local eatery. Police quickly tracked down and apprehended the suspect.

According to the Da Nang City Police, on the evening of August 30, around 8:20 p.m., Ms. T.K.T. (43, residing on Phan Boi Street, Hoa Xuan Ward) had just closed her eatery and placed a black backpack with VND 45 million inside the trunk of her Air Blade motorbike. She accidentally left the key in the ignition.

While she stood nearby scrolling her phone, a young man suddenly approached, shoved her to the ground, opened the bike’s trunk, grabbed the backpack, and fled toward National Highway 1.

Police immediately launched an investigation and identified Tran Nhu Anh (32, from Xuan Phu, Da Nang) as the suspect. He was summoned for questioning on September 1.

At the station, Anh admitted to the robbery, saying he needed money for personal expenses. After stealing the backpack, he went to a vacant lot at the Nguyen Van Vinh – Au Duong Lan intersection, took the cash, and abandoned the bag.

Police recovered evidence including a motorbike, a mobile phone, the victim’s personal documents, and VND 6.5 million in cash — far less than the original amount.

The case remains under further investigation.
