Cu Jut Police mobilize people to surrender weapons and explosives

• Ba Thuoc Police mobilize locals to return homemade guns

In order to successfully collect all illegally-stored and illegally-used weapons, explosives and supporting tools, the Cu Jut District Police collaborated closely with local leadership in drawing up specific plans with a focus on popularizing laws and regulations on storage, management and use of weapons, explosives, supporting tools and crackers.

At the same time, the Cu Jut District Police actively coordinated with relevant local units in reviewing the situation and increasing checks on those suspected of possessing, trafficking and trading illegal weapons, explosives and crackers.

Local police enhanced patrols in towns and hamlets to detect and collect weapons, explosives and supporting tools, stored or used by locals. 

Police officers asked all 17 local metal scrap traders to sign a commitment not to buy weapons, explosives and supporting tools.

Thanks to comprehensive measures, including information dissemination and mass mobilization, taken by the Cu Jut District Police since the beginning of 2017, people in Cu Jut District have voluntarily handed over 67 guns of all kinds (including one airgun, 35 flint-locks and  31 alcohol guns), two 37 mm shells, one grenade and part of an air gun.
