At about 9pm the same day, they entered the office of a petrol station in Hoa Lac ward of Quang Ninh’s Mong Cai city with the intention of stealing things.

When discovered by an employee of the petrol station, the two tied her up with adhesive tape and fled the scene with one smart phone and 210,000 VND (about 9 USD) in cash that they stole from the woman.
