- Workflow
-
Street AI cameras covering the route the intruder took, with footage retained for police review. A model that matches people on gait, body shape, clothing and movement as well as face, so a mask does not defeat identification. A prompt police report, the morning of the burglary, and a ward investigation team able to act on the match within hours.

- Relation to AI
-
The system's contribution was identification. It matched the masked intruder's gait, body shape, clothing, movement and facial data and reconstructed his route. That pointed police to him. The detention, confession and case-building were police work. The system and its vendor are not named. No official is quoted by name. Every report draws on the police account. The OECD Monitor tags the entry under privacy and data governance and respect of human rights, the concerns that come with public facial recognition.

Follow-up
- Conditions for replication
-
The suspect passes through camera coverage and can be found at a fixed location afterwards, here an internet café. Identification is confirmed by police work and a confession. The sources report no independent check of the match. The system and vendor are unnamed, so performance beyond this case cannot be checked.
- Replication attempts
-
Not assessed
- Later findings
-
The 25 December 2025 reports end with the suspect's confession and the ward police consolidating the file; no prosecution or trial report was found.

- Reasons
-
People: H.A.T. had the intruder who took his laptops, papers and 14 million VND identified, detained and confessing within two days. No source reports recovery of the property or the money. So the benefit to him is resolution, not restitution. Organizations: Tân Hưng Ward Police and PC02 cleared a masked-intruder burglary in under 72 hours. Seven outlets carried the case as the police's demonstration of the AI camera system.
