TL;DR
Yes, recent reports say night visa checks are currently concentrated in the Son Tra peninsula area of Da Nang; travelers also advise photographing your belongings in the hotel safe on check-in in case of theft.
According to recent community reports, night raids/checks are currently happening specifically in the Son Tra peninsula area of Da Nang — if you're staying there, be prepared for a possible police visit at night.
Travelers who had a night police visit are encouraged to share the approximate area or hotel name — this helps others gauge where checks are currently happening.
In a separate incident at Nami Boutique Hotel in northern Da Nang, a guest reported items missing from their room safe but couldn't prove the theft since they hadn't photographed the contents on arrival — takeaway: photograph your safe's contents right when you check in.
