Following the direction of the Provincial Police Director, in recent times, police units and localities have been making efforts to closely follow the area, launching campaigns to crack down on all types of crimes that are disrupting people's lives day and night.
Recently, Thai Hoa Town Police successfully arrested a gang of dog thieves who used firearms, causing panic among local residents. Major Pham Thanh Long - Deputy Chief of Thai Hoa Town Police said: The arrested dog thieves were mostly criminals and dangerous drug users. They used motorbikes with electric shockers to steal dogs, and if chased, they would use petrol bombs and weapons to fight back. The activities of the criminals took place over a relatively long period of time, causing outrage among the public. Therefore, the successful arrest of the dog-stealing criminal gang was highly appreciated and supported by the public.
