The patrol team temporarily seized 5 spray paint cans and took all 4 people to the police station for questioning. The group admitted to defacing public places by spray painting and imitating graffiti (a form of foreign street art).

During the investigation, the police discovered that some of the young men in the group showed signs of drug use. The test results showed that 3 out of 4 people tested positive for drugs, including TNT (23 years old, residing in District 11, Ho Chi Minh City), NCL (23 years old, residing in Cam Le District) and DTN (22 years old, residing in Hai Chau District, both in Da Nang City). These people admitted to using marijuana.

The spray paint cans were seized.

As Thanh Nien reported, recently, in the center of Da Nang City, graffiti has appeared in public places. In Hai Chau District, up to 6/13 wards have locations and areas that have been defaced. Notably, not only abandoned and unfinished constructions but also many landscape locations, art statues, and architectural works have been graffitied, causing offense and losing the urban beauty.

Youth union members from all localities have mobilized to clean up and restore the beauty of the area.

Hai Chau District People's Committee has directed the district police force and local authorities to increase patrols, ambushes, and strictly handle graffiti.
