On November 30, social media continuously circulated images, clips and information about a type of candy sold at school gates, which after rapid testing was found to contain suspected drugs.
In particular, the post also contained a picture of a Zalo message named "Department B8 BV105" with the content: "My family reminds the children not to eat or buy this candy. Hospital 105 tested positive for synthetic drugs. In Son Tay, a stranger appeared at the school gate to distribute candy to students after school."
However, Hanoi City Police confirmed that this is false information, causing public confusion and affecting security and order in the city.

After the information caused a stir on social networks from this group, the leader of Hanoi City Police directed Son Tay Town Police to urgently check the area and coordinate with Military Hospital 105 to clarify the incident.
Initially, the authorities determined that: Hospital 105 only conducted drug tests through urine and blood, did not conduct drug tests through other samples, and did not test any type of candy for drugs that tested positive for synthetic drugs as information spreading on social networks. According to a school in Son Tay town, some students had stomach aches after using the same fruit-flavored candy purchased online on social networks; no candy was distributed to students at the school gate.
Also through this incident, Hanoi City Police requested people, parents and students to be cautious and vigilant when writing articles, sharing unverified information, images and clips; avoid causing public panic and negatively affecting security and order in the area. The Police Agency said that in cases of sharing untrue information on social networks, individuals/organizations will be strictly handled according to the provisions of the law.
At the same time, schools and parents are requested to choose and use safe food. Schools are requested to continue to propagate and educate their children not to buy or use candies and foods of unknown origin, which may affect their health when used.
