The anti-crime elite force Rapid Action Battalion arrested 38 teenagers in different parts of the country over their suspected ties to various crimes.
Lt Col Mostak Ahmed, commanding officer of RAB-1 confirmed it.
The arrests were made during raids conducted by RAB-1 in Dhaka's airport area, Banani, and Mohakhali, as well as parts of Tongi and Gazipur, on Thursday.
“People are frustrated with the crimes committed by the juvenile gangs,” said Lt Col Mostak Ahmed.
The raids and arrests were prompted by the complaints they filed with the RAB.
Legal measures will be taken against the teenagers, said Mostak.
