Police bust cross-border bullet smuggling at east China

Police confiscated more than 1,000 bullets at a resident's home in east China's Shandong Province, customs department of Jinan City said on Wednesday.

Based on a tip-off, anti-smuggling police tracked a package, which was declared as server cabinet, delivered via FedEx from California to Liaocheng City.

When the package arrived at a resident's house, the police checked it and found 1,100 bullets in it.

They also found an air rifle, a homemade handgun, and an imitation handgun at the home of the suspect surnamed Wu.

Preliminary investigation showed that Wu asked others to buy these bullets in the U.S. through messaging platform Tencent's QQ in late October. Further investigation is under way.
