A male passenger has been refused to board a flight from Hanoi to Buon Ma Thuot City after he was found to carry gun parts in hand luggage.

Security authorities at Noi Bai International Airport on September 12 found two parts of a gun, a gun lock and a scope, kept in a hand luggage of Dang Hong S, 32, from Dak Nong Province.

S told security officers that he found these items while working on his farm.

The passenger was then refused to board the Vietjet Air flight and the case was transferred to the police.

According to a security officer, the passenger might not be aware that it is illegal to bring these items on flight. However, there may be cases in which criminals can dismantle a gun into different parts in attempt to transport gun.

Vietnam Laws regulate that individuals and organisations must have permission from the authorities for using and trading weapons, explosives and supporting devices. Any violations will be subject to heavy fines.
