FIVE people in south China's Shenzhen City have turned themselves in to police after local authorities received tip-offs regarding property damage during anti-Japanese protests earlier in the month.
On Saturday, police posted photos of 20 people alleged to have destroyed public and private property during the protests on September 16.
The local police bureau said it had solid evidence the 20 had committed vandalism, and urged them to surrender to the police. It also offered a reward for any information.
By Sunday night, the authorities had received more than 350 phone calls offering information on the 20 suspects and five of them had since turned themselves in, the bureau said yesterday.
Protests flared in dozens of Chinese cities on the weekend of September 15 and 16, just days after the Japanese government's Diaoyu Islands "purchase."
Some protests turned violent, resulting in damage to Japanese cars and businesses and the temporary closure of Japanese-funded companies.
A man surnamed Li, one of the five who surrendered, told reporters he regretted vandalizing a police vehicle.
Another suspect, surnamed Wang, said he regretted vandalizing a Honda vehicle.
In northwest China's Xi'an City, police are seeking information they hope will lead to the arrest of a man who turned to violence during a September 15 protest. Police published photos online of a man smashing a Toyota car with a steel lock.
He is also said to have attacked its owner, leaving him unconscious for days.
