Gun gang busted
Print Edition
Hangzhou police raided a location in Lin’an, busting a gang that made guns and sold them online and confiscating 42 guns.
The officers also seized 29 rifle bullets, 3,427 air gun pellets and more than 600 gun parts in five underground workshops. More than 150 officers took part in the pre-dawn operation on August 26 and caught all 21 suspects in bed.
A 40-year-old man surnamed Wang was the gunsmith. Wang had rented five workshops on Lin’an’s outskirts. He was punished before for having a gun in his car in 2004. Later, he quit his job to concentrate on his gun business, police said.
Wang found his partners through a QQ chat group. They would refer to a gun as “the dog,” the bullets as “dog food,” and gun parts as “internal organs.”
Wang opened a shop on Taobao, China’s largest online shopping site, and sold gun parts disguised as shoes. A pair of “shoes” sold for 6,000 yuan (US$984). The “shoes” were actually a high-quality gun barrel. Wang and his clients negotiated the price online, and had the gun barrel delivered in a shoe box.
One day Wang quarrelled with two men after a small car accident. Wang brandished a gun and the terrified men fled. A witness reported it.
