From AI Cameras, Police Track Down 14 Youths for Weaving and Stunting

Police in Dong Nai province have apprehended 14 teenagers for a series of dangerous driving offenses, including reckless maneuvers and wielding weapons while riding motorcycles. The arrests followed an incident late on May 31, where a group of approximately 15 to 20 youths were observed engaging in dangerous behavior on multiple city streets.

Using advanced AI surveillance cameras, authorities identified the group as they rode in threes, without helmets, and performed stunts like "lang lach" (weaving) and "danh vong" (wheelies). The riders were also seen carrying weapons, posing a significant threat to public safety and order in areas including Nguyen Ai Quoc, Pham Van Thuan, and Vo Thi Sau streets.

Law enforcement agencies swiftly mobilized, leading to the identification and arrest of 14 individuals, aged 16 to 18, by June 3. During the operation, police confiscated one sword and six motorcycles linked to the group's activities. The teenagers confessed to their actions, admitting they had also recorded videos of their dangerous stunts to post on TikTok as a form of boasting and challenge.

The Dong Nai Provincial Police Department issued a strong advisory to parents, urging them to enhance their supervision and education of their children. They stressed the importance of preventing minors from operating vehicles without proper licenses or qualifications. The police vowed to continue strict enforcement against groups gathering to speed, perform dangerous stunts, rev engines, and disrupt public order.
