Persons Over 18 Years of Age Have the Right to Arrest Flagran Criminals?
Based on Article 111 of the 2015 Criminal Procedure Code regulating the arrest of persons caught in the act of committing a crime as follows:
Arrest of Persons Caught in the Act
For a person who is in the process of committing a crime or immediately after committing the crime and is detected or pursued, any person has the right to arrest and immediately bring the person arrested to the nearest Police authority, Procuracy, or People's Committee. These authorities must make a record of receipt and immediately hand over the person arrested or promptly notify the competent Investigation Authority.
When arresting a person caught in the act, any person has the right to seize the weapons and dangerous items of the person caught.
In the case where the commune-level police, ward, commune-level town, or Police Station discovers, arrests, or receives a person caught in the act, they shall seize, temporarily hold weapons, dangerous items, and preserve relevant documents and items, make a record of the arrest, take the initial statement, and protect the scene according to legal regulations; immediately hand over the person arrested or promptly notify the competent Investigation Authority.
Can Persons Under 18 Years Old Arrest Persons Caught in the Act?
Thus, it can be seen that for a person in the process of committing a crime or immediately after committing the crime and being detected or pursued, any person has the right to arrest and immediately bring the arrested person to the nearest Police authority, Procuracy, or People's Committee. These authorities must make a record of receipt and immediately hand over the person arrested or promptly notify the competent Investigation Authority.
Therefore, the law does not impose any age limit for the right to arrest persons caught in the act of committing a crime. Any person, regardless of age, has this right.
Sincerely!
