Previously, during a night patrol, the working group of the Traffic Police and Order Team - Ha Long Bay Police ( Quang Ninh province) discovered an unregistered vehicle without life-saving equipment carrying 6 tourists fishing for squid at night in the bay.
During the inspection, one of the squid fishing tourists explained to the authorities that because he had seen many advertisements for this service on Tik Tok, he followed the trend and participated without realizing the danger if a storm occurred while squid fishing at night.
According to authorities, although it is illegal, it is not difficult to find advertisements for "fishing" and "night squid fishing" tours on Ha Long Bay by boat, ferry, fishing boat...
To avoid inspection and handling by authorities, tour operators often take advantage of the long coastline to organize illegal activities.
These illegal tours often change pick-up and drop-off locations from Tuan Chau and Hung Thang wards to Cai Xa Coong area.
Others set up "decoys" to monitor, and when they detect patrols, they will quickly notify other subjects to temporarily stop their activities.
It is known that since the beginning of the year, through inspection, Ha Long City Police have discovered and handled 12 vehicles illegally transporting tourists on Ha Long Bay, including 7 vehicles illegally transporting people for squid fishing.
Through inspection, most of the violating vehicles were not registered, inspected, and did not ensure technical safety and environmental hygiene.
Also through patrols, the police force discovered and handled 30 illegal fishing vessels in the core area of Ha Long Bay using prohibited fishing gear; prosecuted 2 cases and 2 subjects for destroying aquatic resources.
