TWO cities in Guangdong report success in their crackdown on serious crime, particularly theft of luxury vehicles.
Zengcheng police have smashed a 14-strong gang that specialised in stealing cars and then selling them, the Hong Kong China News Agency said yesterday.
Twenty-six luxury cars were seized in the operation.
Public security officers initially caught four sus-pects at a petrol station. They confiscated a German-made gun equipped with a silencer, three rounds of bullets and 30,000 yuan (HK$26,640) in cash.
Following a three-day investigation, the other 10 accomplices were arrested. The authorities also discovered a further 40,000 yuan, a savings account of 140,000 yuan and equipment used to steal cars.
The report said most of the suspects were unemployed.
