Industrial salt
POLICE seized more than 4 tons of industrial salt and tools used to process the salt in a raid on an unlicensed workshop in Pingshan New Zone on Sunday. Two suspects were detained.

Illegal crossing
A MAN was recently caught by police at Wenjindu Checkpoint trying to cross the border to Hong Kong hiding in a truck loaded with pigs.
The man surnamed Su, a native of Fujian Province, climbed out of the truck at the checkpoint thinking he had arrived in Hong Kong. When he realized he was still on the Shenzhen side of the border, he rushed back but was caught by a patrolling police officer.
Su said he had planned to go to Hong Kong to escape criminal prosecution after he was involved in a fight.
