According to initial investigations, the Chinese man has been identified as Huang Ya Shan, a fugitive wanted by police in Guangdong province of China for the crime of child rape.

In an attempt to evade capture, the criminal entered Vietnam, visiting his relatives in Chau Duc district of Ba Ria-Vung Tau province and in Long Thanh district of Dong Nai province.

Upon noticing a foreigner living in the locality during the social distancing period, Long Thanh district’s police swiftly transferred the Chinese national to a quarantine area in line with regulations on novel coronavirus (COVID-19) prevention and control.

When Shan failed to show any relevant identification documents, local authorities launched an investigation into him, subsequently leading to his arrest by Dong Nai police before being handed over to Department of Criminal Police under the Ministry of Public Security.
