Accordingly, at around 9:30 p.m. on July 2, Tan Hoa Ward Police received a report that a passenger bus had its windshield shot out while traveling on the My Thuan - Can Tho Expressway.

When arriving at the scene to verify, the police discovered D. and T. walking on a nearby road, carrying 3 slingshots, 459 iron balls, and 2 headlamps. The police invited the two teenagers to the headquarters to clarify.

At the police station, D. and T. admitted that on the evening of the same day, because they were sad, they invited each other to go to the residential road next to the My Thuan - Can Tho highway and used slingshots to shoot iron balls at the passenger buses that were moving.

At the same time, D. and T. also confessed that on the evening of June 28, they also used slingshots to break the windows of 6 other passenger buses running on the highway, passing through Vinh Long. At that time, they were shooting rats near the highway and then "got itchy" so they turned to "shooting passenger buses for fun".

According to the police, drivers reported that one or two side windshields were broken, with each vehicle suffering property damage of between 4 and 6.5 million VND.

Currently, D. and T. are on bail from their families. The police are investigating the incident and have asked the driver whose car window was broken during the aforementioned time to report it so that they can be dealt with according to regulations.

Many sleeper buses running on the My Thuan - Can Tho highway are suspected of having their windows broken by bullets.

Traffic police are verifying a clip that is said to show a driver driving a car at a speed of up to 210km/h on the My Thuan - Can Tho highway.
