A man was sentenced to five days in administrative detention for storing and selling gasoline in his ground-floor apartment in Chongqing, western China.
Police discovered five tanks filled with at least one ton of gasoline in the apartment of Liu Shimin in Damozi Village in Chongqing, a local daily, Chongqing Evening News, reported today.
The tanks had pipes and the whole room reeked of gasoline when policemen raided his apartment in a three-storey building following tip-offs that motorcycles, cars and pickup trucks often lined outside Liu's apartment, the paper said.
Liu admitted that he bought the fuel from a gas station a dozen kilometers away and resold the fuel to drivers at a premium of 5 percent. He had earned more than 4,000 yuan (US$631) from this business for nearly a year, according to the report.
His neighbors upstairs had no idea that they were living above a gas station full of safety hazards.
