HCM City police gear up for thief hunting with new motorcycles
Police in Ho Chi Minh City have been gifted 100 motorcycles to bolster crime fighting abilities.
The vehicles, sponsored by city-based Nova Bac Nam 79 JSC, were handed over in a ceremony at the municipal police’s headquarters on June 29.
“Theft is one of the crimes that police in the city aim to mitigate in order to keep life peaceful and contribute to safety and living standards in the community,” Lieutenant General Le Dong Phong, the city’s police chief, said at the ceremony.

Huynh Cach Mang, deputy chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, emphasized though the city is the country’s southern economic and cultural hub, it is being faced with more convoluted criminal schemes and an influx of criminals moving from other provinces to the metropolis.
“The new motorcycles will serve as significant support for police to effectively purge criminal acts, especially bag snatching and robbery,” Phong said.
Lieutenant General Bui Van Thanh, Deputy Minister of Public Security, told the municipal police to utilize the vehicles for rightful purposes to effectively curb crime.
