Print Edition
Six car smuggling gangs have been busted after they tried to bring in vehicles worth of nearly 1 billion yuan (US$164 million) illegally into China, customs officials said.
Customs authorities in provinces of Guangdong, Yunnan, Liaoning and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have arrested 54 gang members since the beginning of the year, an official with the Guangdong branch of the General Administration of Customs said.
More than 80 high-end vehicles including Rolls-Royce, Mercedes-Benz and BMW have been seized from them.
Investigations showed the gangs smuggled in more than 3,000 vehicles from abroad in the past three years with its total value being 966 million yuan, the official said.
The gangs, independent but with connections, had formed a smuggling chain that covered the United States, Vietnam, Myanmar, Hong Kong, and provinces of Guangdong, Yunnan, Liaoning and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. This year, China cracked 30 smuggling cases.
