The 17-day and night-long escape journey of 2 bank robbers in Gia Lai, revealing a shocking secret

The shocking robbery at Vietcombank - Tra Ba Transaction Office (Gia Lai) has finally come to an end. After 17 days of suffocating tracking, the "identical pair" possessing skillful shooting skills officially fell into the net, closing the sophisticated journey of escape across the province.

On the morning of February 6, the air at the Gia Lai Provincial Police was hotter than ever. Not because of a new case, but because of the hot commendation decisions from the Minister of Public Security and the Provincial People's Committee for the "essences" of crimes. The identities and journey of "burning money" of the two perpetrators were also revealed in detail for the first time.

The professional "deployment" is like the ultimate movie

Unlike impulsive people, Pham Anh Tai (nicknamed "Black Tai", SN 1990) and Le Van An (SN 1993) – a duo from the same hometown of Quang Ngai – set up a calculated plan to rob a bank.

Stemming from the desperation of lack of money to spend, "Black Tai" invited An to carry out a "mission of the century". The two were not in a hurry to get down but spent time moving from Kon Tum to Pleiku City to survey the terrain. From the escape route, the hidden corners of the camera to the plan to destroy the evidence, they are meticulously calculated to "evaporate" from the sight of the functional forces.

In the afternoon of January 19, the "G hour" pointed. With a gun in their hands and skillful weapon skills, this group boldly robbed nearly 1.9 billion VND at Vietcombank Tra Ba before disappearing into the night.

The escape journey and the "pantomime" in his hometown

After holding a huge amount of money in their hands, the two immediately implemented the tactic of "divide and conquer". They went down to Ho Chi Minh City. Ho Chi Minh City – the busiest place to find ways to disperse assets and launder money.

The most notable is Le Van An's "calm to the cold". After the separation, An calmly returned to Quang Ngai, continuing his daily routine as if there had never been a separation, in order to create a perfect alibi cover. Meanwhile, the "big man" Tai Den continued his hidden journey until he was caught by scouts on February 5.

Huge arsenal and talking numbers

When investigators stormed the subjects' hideouts, the scene was nothing more than a miniature arsenal of weapons. The police seized: 4 handguns (under type assessment). 46 bullets and about 1kg of lead ammunition. More than 930 million VND in cash and gold jewelry.

The seizure of this large number of weapons shows the level of danger and recklessness of this criminal group. If not prevented in time, the consequences will be unpredictable if they continue to carry out other oppression.

The inevitable end

The smooth coordination between the Gia Lai Provincial Police, the Criminal Police Department (Ministry of Public Security) and the Ho Chi Minh City Police. Ho Chi Minh City extinguished the dream of illicit enrichment of "Black Tai" and his accomplices. Currently, the case is being investigated extensively to clarify every corner of this line.

This feat is not only a stern wake-up call for those who intend to "test the fire" with the law, but also a gift of peace for people in the first days of the year.

The high price for the dream of "getting rich is not difficult"

The case closes not only with certificates of merit or money recovered, but also as a stern warning to those who are delusional that "weapons and recklessness" can be used to challenge discipline. Pham Anh Tai and Le Van An chose a blind shortcut to solve their destitution, but the ending they received was a dark dead end behind the prison door.
