During their patrol on Nguyen Van Ba Street, Thu Duc District,
local police caught Phung Anh Tuan with a lot of nails on him.

Tuan, 33, from northern Ninh Binh province, who resides in
the district’s Linh Chieu ward, is a motorbike repairer.

Searching Tuan’s house, the police found a large quantity of
nails as well as a full set of motorbike repair tools.

Tuan was detained immediately afterwards.

At the police office, Tuan pleaded guilty to scattering
nails on some streets in the district.

In a related development, Binh Duong police have concluded
that “nail traps” were responsible for a traffic accident killing one man and
injuring another in the province’s Di An town last year.

On July 4, 2010, Dao Xuan Bac, 25, was riding a motorbike
carrying Tran Van Thao, 27, on National
Highway 1A, when their vehicle ran over a nail on
the road and lost its balance.

Bac lost control over the vehicle and consequently they were
both run over by a truck from behind.

The accident killed Thao instantly and seriously injured
Bac.

It was the first traffic accident caused by “nail traps” in
the province, the local police said.
