On the evening of April 17, the Beihai City Public Security Bureau patrol police captured a suspect involved in illegal business operations during a patrol.

▲ The suspects at the crime scene

Recently, the Beihai City Public Security Bureau patrol police frequently detected a strong unusual odor while patrolling a section of Yintan Avenue. Due to their professional sensitivity, the patrol officers investigated the source of the odor and discovered it was coming from a dilapidated residential house, which was quite hidden and suspicious. During further investigation, a woman inside the house appeared flustered and evasive upon seeing the patrol officers. When questioned by the police, she hesitated and gave incoherent answers. Upon verifying her identity, it was found that she was a fugitive from another province, suspected of illegal business operations.

▲ Police seized e-cigarettes

After analysis, it was discovered that the fugitive was the brother of another suspect in the same case. The Beihai City Public Security Bureau patrol officers continued their pursuit. On April 18, police successfully captured two other fugitives, Bao Mouqi and Bao Mouyao, involved in the illegal business case in Hepu.
