Police closely monitor residential areas to search for the person who shot iron bullets into a house in Ho Chi Minh City.

A week after the incident in which 20 houses on Lam Son Street, Tan Binh District, were damaged by iron ball bullets, the police have yet to find the culprit.

On March 12, according to Dan Tri reporter, police force of Ward 2 (Tan Binh District) was still on duty on Lam Son Street to monitor and search for the person who shot iron ball bullets into a house.

A police officer said that since March 5, there have been no more incidents of steel ball bullets flying into houses in the area. "The police are patrolling every day to monitor and track down the perpetrator," an officer said.

The presence of local police has helped people living on Lam Son Street feel less anxious. People return to their daily activities and hope that the police will soon track down and arrest the perpetrators to compensate the victims.

Ms. Yen (45 years old, local resident) shared that the possibility that the person who shot the iron ball was "shy" when the police intervened decisively. After shooting the car window on March 5, the area no longer had iron ball bullets flying into houses.

"I think the police must investigate, arrest the vandals by any means, and force them to compensate for the damage. Some houses have had their property damaged and have had to spend more than 20 million VND to repair it," Ms. Yen said.

Talking to Dan Tri reporter, Mr. Nguyen Anh Quang, Chairman of Ward 2 People's Committee (Tan Binh District) said that in recent days, the ward government has coordinated with neighborhoods to propagate, and there are no more cases of iron ball bullets flying into people's houses.

The local police verified and investigated but have not yet found the perpetrator. "The police officers were on Lam Son Street monitoring the incident for a whole week. People's lives have returned to normal. The other day, this person must have felt "moved" so he didn't dare to shoot the iron ball anymore," said Mr. Quang.

Previously, in February and early March, residential areas on Lam Son Street (Tan Binh District) were continuously hit by iron ball bullets flying into houses and damaging property.

Some houses had broken windows, solar water heater tanks, and broken car windows. People lived in fear and reported to the local police. People also picked up hundreds of iron pellets as big as chopsticks.
