“A gold shop in Ho Chi Minh City will temporarily close following a police raid that has raised eyebrows among legal experts. Police stormed into the shop on Bui Huu Nghia Street at 1 p.m. on Thursday (April 24) claiming they had seen a man trying to exchange a US$100 note for Vietnamese dong. The police then spent eight hours combing the shop from top to bottom, seizing more than US$14,000 in cash and equipment, including a security camera and a CPU. Before leaving, the officers sealed off 559 taels of gold on display in the shop. Police later removed evidentiary seals after Mai produced papers to prove she inherited the gold from her parents.”
