After questioning, they were charged with Aggravated Offenses of Robbery.
According to the police investigation, a 20-year-old man surnamed Xu and an 18-year-old man with the same surname Xu shared a scooter on a road in Guanyin District at about 7:00 pm when they saw a 36 -year-old Vietnamese migrant worker surnamed Guo riding alone. They approached her and lied to her, claiming that they saw something fall on the road while she was riding, so as to lure her to stop and look for it. Guo believed the two young men, thinking that she had lost something, and they came to remind them of good intentions. Therefore, she moved her scooter to the side of the road and parked it without suspicion, and got out to look for it.
