On June 3, 2015, the People's Court of Ho Chi Minh City sentenced two defendants Le Hoang to 5 years in prison and Truong Thai Ngoc to 4 years in prison for "robbery of property".
According to the indictment of the People's Procuracy of Ho Chi Minh City, on October 3, 2014 Hoang drove a motorcycle carrying Ngoc on the roads in District 1, Ho Chi Minh City. When they arrived at the intersection of Pham Ngu Lao - Pham Thai Hoc Street, seeing Jane Lane and her husband Philip Alan Cresdee (the same British nationality) were walking across the street, wearing a bag on her right shoulder, Hoang asked Ngoc to snatch. After Ngoc agreed, Hoang drove the motorcycle close to the right side of Jane Lane so that Ngoc sat in the back of the car and used her right hand to grab Jane Lane's bag and then run away. As direct witnesses of the incident, Mr. Nguyen Thai Duong and Mr. Tran Duc Minh chased Hoang and Ngoc. At the intersection of Tran Hung Dao - Camette when Ngoc jumped down and jogged into the 23/9 park, Minh caught up and caught Ngoc and the evidence handed over to the police for handling. And Hoang continued to drive the car and ran to the intersection of Nguyen Thai Hoc - Co Giang, when Mr. Duong forced the car to fall and was arrested and handed over to the police for handling.
