Weapon seizures and surrender campaigns in Vietnam

Overview

Law enforcement activities regarding illegal weapons in Vietnam have involved both criminal investigations and public safety campaigns.

In Hanoi, police arrested a suspect named Dao Dinh Thang after a patrol by Task Force 141. Authorities seized three firearms—including a 75cm metal double-barreled gun, a 34cm single-barreled gun, and a 105cm single-barreled gun—alongside a knife, handcuffs, and a handgun-shaped object.

In Tuyen Quang province, authorities have focused on a voluntary surrender campaign for weapons, explosives, and fireworks. Since July 2026, the initiative has utilized propaganda sessions to encourage residents to turn in items used for hunting and crop protection. This effort has resulted in the surrender of 263 homemade guns, 283 bullets, and 29 detonators, with the campaign set to continue through October 15, 2026.
