Earlier, on March 21, during his break time in the training field near his barracks, Tuan received an SMS notifying a change in his account balance, with the adding of VND 175 million. Tuan was surprised because the name of the money transferer was not among his acquaintances.

He reported the case to his leaders and was requested to contact with the public security force in Huu Lung district, Lang Son province to find the owner of the money.

However, after transferring the money, she was reported that the money had not been transferred to her relative’s account. Ms. Hang then knew that she had mistakenly transferred VND 175 million to a wrong person so she decided to return to Vietnam and asked the public security force in Tam Dao district, Vinh Phuc province for help.

Receiving the money, Ms. Hang felt happy and sent thanks to First Lieutenant Tuan for his good deed.
