SHANGHAI railway police have stepped up security measures at and around the city’s three railway terminals as the Qingming Festival holiday draws near.
Police at Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station in a crackdown yesterday afternoon discovered six illegal taxis hailed from the Internet on the departure level of the terminal.
During the evening, police found 13 suspects who were accused of approaching tourists and offering them accommodation. Police dissuaded seven tourists from taking the offers.
Police said they targeted “agents” who make money by recommending certain hotels to tourists, and the suspects were admonished, fined or detained for up to 15 days.
Police said the number of objects banned from being taken onto trains discovered has surged since the beginning of this week.
So far among the objects were 2,212 lighters, 17.4 kilograms of paint, 21 kilograms of kerosene and 7,330 banned knives and daggers.
Police said they make sure that every piece of luggage is scanned and travelers are checked.
