Strictly punish juvenile offenders.
On June 10th, the Hue City Police Investigation Agency announced that it had issued a decision to initiate criminal proceedings and indict three teenagers: Nguyen Van Trung Nhat, Nguyen Van Anh, and Nguyen Van Bao Trong (all under 18 years old, residing in Vinh Loc commune, Hue City) for the crime of "Disrupting public order".
According to initial investigations, on April 28, 2026, Trung Nhat sent messages calling on many young people to gather in large groups to organize a trip to Hai Van Pass. At around 3:00 AM on April 30, the individuals gathered at the intersection of the road leading to Phuoc Tuong Tunnel and National Highway 49B (Phuoc Tuong intersection).
After gathering, the group rode their motorcycles at high speed on National Highway 49B, performing dangerous stunts such as wheelies, swerving, and weaving, causing a disruption to public order and posing a significant risk of serious traffic accidents.
When the convoy had traveled about 100 meters, the Hue City Police task force spotted it and quickly deployed operational measures to surround and apprehend the suspects, preventing further incidents. The prosecution of the suspects demonstrates the strictness of the law in combating and dealing with acts that disregard the law, disrupt social order and safety, and endanger traffic safety.
Recently, the Investigation Police Department of Hue City Police issued a decision to initiate a criminal case, indict the suspect, and execute a temporary detention order for a period of 2 months against Tran Kiem Anh Khoa (born in 2008, residing in Phu Xuan Ward, Hue City) for the act of "resisting public officials."
According to the case file, while task forces of the Hue City Police were simultaneously deploying patrols, controls, and checkpoints on many roads to prevent and combat unruly behavior and public disorder among young people, at approximately 11:30 PM, at the roundabout in front of Hung Vuong Street, Tran Kiem Anh Khoa (born in 2008, residing in Phu Xuan Ward, Hue City) was driving an unregistered Honda SH motorbike without a helmet, carrying Nguyen Khai Hung (born in 2008), who was also not wearing a helmet. When officers signaled them to stop for inspection, Khoa refused to comply and fled, attempting to evade them in various ways…
Upon encountering the Thuận Hóa Ward Police task force setting up a checkpoint, the suspect did not stop but instead drove his vehicle straight into the metal barrier. The collision caused one member of the task force to fall to the ground, and Khoa and his passenger also fell off their motorbike at the scene...
Previously, the Criminal Police Department and the police of several wards had arrested many individuals for disturbing public order. After consolidating the case files, the Hue City Police Investigation Agency issued a decision to initiate criminal proceedings and indict 32 young people for disturbing public order. They also applied preventive measures, ordering the arrest of 15 suspects for temporary detention and prohibiting 17 suspects from leaving their place of residence.
The risk of crime becoming more prevalent among younger people is increasing.
From 2024 to the present, the authorities in Hue City have detected and handled 1,803 individuals in the youth age group who violated the law; of which 858 were students, accounting for approximately 48%. The main violations included: robbery, snatching property, theft, intentional infliction of injury, disturbing public order, resisting public officials, and violating traffic safety regulations.
Major General Nguyen Thanh Tuan, Director of the Hue City Police, stated that in the coming period, all levels and sectors need to continue improving the effectiveness and efficiency of state management over youth; proactively review the causes and conditions giving rise to crime at the grassroots level, especially in cyberspace and in areas with potential risks. At the same time, strengthen the management of businesses operating under specific conditions, entertainment venues, internet services, and areas with a high concentration of young people, students, and university students.
Furthermore, it is necessary to significantly innovate the dissemination and education of law in a way that is relevant and appropriate for young people; and to promote the application of digital technology and social media to convey legal education content, life skills, and cultural conduct. In addition, it is necessary to continue to effectively promote models such as mock trials, youth forums, school seminars, and law knowledge competitions to raise awareness and compliance with the law among young people.
