Drugs gang posed as home decorators
Print Edition
A GANG posing as household decorators have been caught manufacturing drugs in apartments in central China’s Hubei Province.
Police in Wuhan, Hubei’s capital, raided three of the drugs workshops last month, seizing 13 suspects.
They confiscated more than 20 kilograms of yaba (a stimulant composed of methamphetamine and caffeine), 20 kilograms of drug materials, drug-making equipment, two hand grenades, four pistols and several imitation pistols and bullets.
As the drug-making equipment was noisy, the gang usually hid the machine in new neighborhoods that had many decorating teams. They also set up a shock-absorption device on the bottom of the machine.
A resident in the neighborhood told police he heard loud noises from inside the apartment but had thought it was people decorating.
Police said all the gang members had specific roles. Younger members learned how to make drugs online, while older members sold the drugs and provided financial support for the gang.
In order to produce quality drugs, they recruited two experts from southwest China’s Yunnan Province who had learned to make drugs overseas.
Eight gang members are currently detained for manufacturing and selling drugs.
