Ablett, 44, visited the store on Nguyen Trai Street at midnight. Discovering Luong My Linh, 25, to be the only staff member on duty, he used a 20 cm knife to force VND3 million ($128) out of the cash register.
When the culprit left the store, Linh called the police, who apprehended him soon after.

Re: Brit arrested after robbing Saigon convenience store
Managed to survive for five years,wounder if he made it home, and has come back or been here all along ?
Re: Brit arrested after robbing Saigon convenience store
Had no idea that he was already well known to the CEO community and is a fellow former ELT teacher. Are they still in business?
It looks like at least his health has improved somewhat. I imagine though he will end up in jail. If he's lucky, he may just get deported.

Re: Brit arrested after robbing Saigon convenience store
Dude cuts his wrists with some sort of blade, his brother signs up with a name containing the word blade, and his brother just used a blade to rob a store.

British Man Gets 5 Years for Saigon Armed Robbery
Briton jailed for robbing Saigon convenience store
By Hai Duyen August 20, 2020 | 09:54 am GMT+7
A Ho Chi Minh City court on Wednesday sentenced a British man to five years in jail for robbing VND2.6 million ($111) from a convenience store earlier this year.
John David Ablett, 44, visited a store on Nguyen Trai Street in the city’s District 1 at midnight on February 9, and saw a lone woman employee, Luong My Linh, 25, on duty. He brandished a knife and stole the money from the cash register.
When he left the store, Linh called the police, who chased after him and apprehended him within 100 meters from the store.
He told the court he had been drunk and gone to the convenience store to buy some beer, but came up with the idea of robbery when he saw there was only one woman employee.
"I was unemployed for several months and had no money."
