Beijing police detained five suspects and confiscated over 37,000 bottles of fake foreign alcohol which was sold to bars along the Sanlitun Bar Street, police told the Global Times Monday.
Police received tip-offs from residents last September, and then raided five gangs who produced and sold fake beer and foreign alcohol worth over 1 million yuan ($160,400) in Tongzhou and Chaoyang districts last December.
The fake alcohol was then sold to Sanlitun bars, although none were named.
