On 31/1, Traffic Police Team No. 1 (Traffic Police Division, Gia Lai Provincial Police) clarified reports circulating on social media. These reports falsely claimed that traffic police disrupted a wedding by entering the venue to seize guests' motorbikes. The team stated that around 10:30 yesterday, a patrol unit on a road through Phu Thien commune detected 5 motorbikes with signs of traffic safety violations.
Initial inspection revealed that all the motorbikes lacked a left rearview mirror and had arbitrarily altered structures and tire sizes. When officers attempted to stop the group and requested documents, the riders refused to comply. Instead, they removed their vehicle keys and entered a roadside wedding ceremony.
The task force subsequently coordinated with Phu Thien Commune Police to identify the operators. They are now preparing case files for processing according to regulations.

Following the incident, information spread on social media alleging that traffic police entered the wedding tent to seize guests' vehicles, causing a disruption. Authorities, however, stated this information is false. They emphasized that law enforcement only inspects and processes vehicles violating regulations on the road. The young people's entry into the wedding was a spontaneous act to evade inspection, not because traffic police entered the wedding venue itself.
Police advised people not to share false information that causes misunderstanding and affects the reputation of law enforcement.
