Meanwhile, the other defendant, Pham Huu Thinh, 24, was sentenced to 5 years in jail for not reporting crimes and consuming assets acquired by criminals. Along with these four robbers, the gang had one more member named Tuan who had been shot down by police after Tuan shot dead a 26-year-old police officer, Le Thanh Tam, in a gunfight in a robbery conducted by them in Dong Nai Province on July 19, 2011.
