Following the direction of the Ministry of Public Security and Binh Thuan Provincial Police, the case of property destruction that occurred in Phu Hai Ward, Phan Thiet City in 2019 was assigned to the Phan Thiet City Police Investigation Agency to handle and investigate according to its authority.
Accordingly, on the afternoon of June 7, the Phan Thiet City Police Department prosecuted and issued an arrest warrant for Thao 'lui's gang. The defendants prosecuted and temporarily detained include: Nguyen Van Thao, aka 'Thao lui'; Pham Quoc Cuong; Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong; Le Minh Khoi and Le Thuan Danh, all for the crime of property destruction.
Among these defendants, there were defendants who had been arrested before the Ministry of Public Security and Binh Thuan Provincial Police caught Thao 'lui' on the afternoon of June 5 in Ho Chi Minh City.
Destroy other people's property
According to the initial investigation results, in March 2019, Mr. Ma Tan Phuong (47 years old, residing in Tan Phu District, Ho Chi Minh City) bought a plot of land with an area of 4,000 m2 in Quarter 5, Phu Hai Ward, Phan Thiet City for 950 million VND from Ms. Nguyen Thi Nghia (64 years old, residing in Mui Ne Ward).
On October 2, 2019, Phuong hired a group of masons including: Le Vinh Quang; Nguyen Thi Van; Vo Nguyen Binh (all residing in Phan Thiet City) to come to this land plot to build a fence around the land plot.
At around 3:00 p.m. on October 3, 2019, while the group of masons were building a fence, Pham Quoc Cuong (aka Nhi 'ba lao', 36 years old, residing in Phu Tai Ward, Phan Thiet City), who was hired by Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong (52 years old, residing in Phan Thiet City) to look after the land for Thao 'lui', came and asked, "Who allowed the fence to be built here?". Quang replied, "We are just workers."
Nguyen Van Thao, aka 'Thao Lui', when he was arrested by the police in Ho Chi Minh City.
Then Cuong called Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong to let her know, Phuong reported the incident to Nguyen Van Thao, then Phuong drove a car (license plate unknown) to where the group of workers were building the fence.
About 15 minutes later, Thao 'lui' led his juniors including Le Minh Khoi; Phan Anh Kim Hung (aka Hung 'chua'); Le Thuan Danh and Teo 'lo' to the place where the fence was being built. Here, Thao said and cursed Nguyen Thi Thu Phuong: "I gave you guys the land to look after, how can you look after it and let people build a fence like that, destroy it all".
A junior of Thao 'lui' was arrested on June 3.
Phuong angrily said to Cuong, Khoi, Kim, Danh and Teo: "Why did they build on our land like that? Destroy it." After saying that, Phuong went to the wall that the construction workers had just built and kicked the wall. Cuong, Danh, Khoi, Kim and Teo also went to destroy the fence wall built with bricks, causing the 38 meter long fence to collapse completely.
Immediately after that, Cuong went to the land of Ms. Nguyen Thi Thuy Trang (residing in Phan Thiet City) who was hiring someone to look after it (about 60-70 meters from the broken fence). Cuong used a machete to cut down the areca trees in front of Ms. Trang's wooden hut, then went inside the hut and smashed the dining table, dressing table, and altar. The two people hired by Ms. Trang to look after this hut just stood there and watched, not daring to say anything.
In the Asset Valuation Conclusion No. 230/KL-HDDG dated October 24, 2019, the Asset Valuation Council in Criminal Proceedings of Phan Thiet City concluded: "The fence is built of bricks with a total length of 38 m, the property damage rate is 100%, the value of the damaged property is 11.4 million VND".
On August 28, 2022, the Phan Thiet City Police Department issued a decision to prosecute a criminal case under Clause 1, Article 178 of the Penal Code.
Mobile police with sniffer dogs surrounded Thao's villa but he quickly escaped on June 3.
On December 29, 2022, due to the expiration of the investigation period but the suspect has not been identified, the Phan Thiet City Police Department issued a decision to temporarily suspend the investigation of the criminal case.
Investigation resumed, arrest of Thao 'lui'
On June 2023, the Phan Thiet City Police Department issued a decision to resume the investigation of the case; prosecute the accused, issue an arrest warrant to detain Nguyen Van Thao and Pham Quoc Cuong for the crime of property destruction.

The search lasted from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on June 3. Detectives seized many pieces of evidence and documents at the villa to serve the investigation.
