Through the night, through Tet

With the viewpoint of “stay awake so people can sleep, stay on guard so people can have fun”, for the peaceful and happy life of the people, Team 373 of Nghe An Provincial Police worked all night and all Tet. Through patrols and inspections, many cases of law violations were discovered.

Typically, at 10:30 p.m. on February 17, at the intersection of Le Nin Street and Ly Tu Trong Street in Ha Huy Tap Ward, Vinh City, the Working Group promptly discovered Tran Van Dung (born in 1987), residing in Hung Loc Commune, Vinh City, using a knife to resolve a conflict with Mr. NVL (born in 1976), residing in Thang Loi Commune, Van Giang District, Hung Yen Province, causing Mr. NVL to be injured. The cause was determined to be a conflict during business. The Working Group arrested, made a record, and handed over to Ha Huy Tap Ward Police for handling according to regulations.

Many cases related to drugs, fireworks, etc. have also been promptly detected and handled by Team 373 of the Provincial Police. For example, at 9:00 p.m. on January 26, at the intersection of Phan Dinh Phung Street and Ho Han Thuong Street in Block 6, Cua Nam Ward, Vinh City, a car with license plate 37A-029.90, driven by Nguyen Thanh Phuong (born in 1991, residing in Vinh Thinh Block, Dong Vinh Ward, Vinh City) was discovered with many suspicious signs, Team 373 requested to stop the car for inspection.
During the inspection, two plastic bags were found in Phuong's jacket pocket, one of which contained white crystals suspected to be drugs (ketamine) and the other contained three light yellow tablets suspected to be drugs (ecstasy). Phuong confessed that the above evidence was drugs, weighing 6.5 grams, which Phuong bought from a young man he did not know for 4 million VND to use. Through verification, Nguyen Thanh Phuong, often called Phuong "chot", is a notorious subject in Vinh city, with 3 previous convictions for disturbing public order and destroying property. Team 373 drew up a record, sealed the evidence and handed over the vehicle and the subject to Vinh city police for handling according to regulations.

Then, at 8:30 p.m. on January 27, on Nguyen Sinh Sac Street in Cua Nam Ward, Vinh City, Team 373 conducted an administrative inspection of a white Vios car with license plate 37A-976.51 driven by Le Dinh Cuong (born in 1985), residing in Vinh Thanh Block, Dong Vinh Ward, Vinh City. Thereby, they discovered 3 rectangular blocks with foreign letters printed on them, weighing 3.6 kg (suspected to be firecrackers) in the car. Through the investigation, Le Dinh Cuong confessed that the above blocks were fireworks that Cuong bought from an unknown person on Facebook to use during Tet. Team 373 drew up a record, sealed the evidence and handed over the vehicle and the subject to Cua Nam Ward Police for handling according to regulations.

Team 373 of the Provincial Police also coordinated with the professional departments of the Provincial Police, Nghi Loc District Police, and Cua Lo Town to verify and arrest the subject who caused the robbery at the transaction office of Vietinbank in Cua Lo Town on the afternoon of February 1, 2024.
Traffic safety violations, especially alcohol concentration violations, are strictly handled by Team 373 of the Provincial Police, receiving high public approval.

I really thank the traffic police force in general, and the Provincial Police Department 373 in particular. If before, after the first day of Tet, my husband would come home in a state of no longer being sober, and then speak harshly to his wife and children even during the first days of the new year, now it is completely different. When asked, I learned that the traffic police force, Provincial Police Department 373, work all night, all Tet, especially focusing on handling alcohol concentration violations. Along with high fines, the authorities are strict and regular, so everyone has to comply.
