The case occurred at around 8 pm on September 10 in a watch shop located at 261 Ba Trieu street, Hoang Van Thu ward, Lang Son city.

The two men then started asking about the exchange rate to distract the saleswoman.
While the saleswoman was checking the exchange rate at the cashier’s, the two foreigners quickly put the watch into their bag, and told that they wanted to get money from their car outside the shop, but they swiftly ran away.
However, the whole happening was recorded by the shop's camera.
Tung - the owner of the shop, has reported the case to Hoang Van Thu Ward Police under the Lang Son Municipal Police.
At the same time, the shop's staff also posted the video clip featuring the two foreigners on the social networks for help.
The police is currently investigating the case.
