Young man lures online girlfriend into hotel, ties her up and robs her of gold

On December 9, District 10 Police (HCMC) are detaining Do Thanh Ly (born in 1991, residing in Ca Mau province, Thu Duc city) to investigate the act of "Robbery".

Previously, on the evening of December 7, Ms. M. (born in 2000, residing in Ca Mau province) went to the police station of Ward 12 (District 10) to report that a young man she had just met online had taken her to a hotel, then used a rope to control her and took many of her assets such as a gold necklace, gold ring, gold bracelet, iPhone 12 Promax and 2.5 million VND.

Through investigation, on the evening of December 8, the police arrested the suspect, Ly. Through investigation, Ly confessed that due to debt, he had the intention of taking Ms. M's property. Accordingly, in November 2023, Ms. M. met Ly through the social network Facebook.

After that, Ly video called Ms. M. many times and discovered that she had many assets on her person. The two also developed feelings for each other, so Ly took the initiative to ask Ms. M. to come to Ho Chi Minh City to talk.

At noon on December 7, Ms. M. took a bus from Ca Mau province to Ho Chi Minh City to meet her "boyfriend". When her "girlfriend" arrived, Ly took Ms. M. to a hotel to rent a room to talk. There, Ly tied Ms. M. up with a rope, took the aforementioned property, and then left.

Police warn people to be vigilant against scams by bad guys on social media. These guys take advantage of people’s gullibility to defraud and steal their property.

Do not make friends, text or call strangers; especially do not share personal information online. When detecting signs of crime or fraud, immediately report to the nearest police station for handling.
