Most burglary in Vietnam is performed with basic tools and little planning, wham, bam thank-you ma’am stuff. But a gang of thieves from the northern province of Bac Giang went above and beyond (or below and though) to fulfill their nefarious goals.

The gang of six men, aged between 30 and 34, dug a six-metre long underground tunnel to steal from TeaYang Electronics Co Ltd in the Dinh Tram Industrial Zone. 

The gang of six men, aged between 30 and 34, dug a six-metre long underground tunnel to steal from a company.

The robbing scum used drills and shovels to dig the trench to enter TeaYang Electronics Co Ltd in the Dinh Tram Industrial Zone to take more than 1,000 telephone and mobile phone spare parts worth nearly VNĐ2 billion (US$88,800).

The tunnel connects the company’s goods store with a nearby company which had ceased to operate, with the scheme taking a month to carry out.

They dug during working hours so noise from TeaYang Electronics would mask the sound of their drilling machines.

Despite their great efforts and painstaking preparation, this month they were caught by police.

Perhaps it would have been more profitable to disengage their brains and work on getting a decent job instead of hatching a difficult plan.
