Burglars caught

FOUR suspects have been caught in connection with a recent burglary at an upmarket apartment building in Nanshan District.

Gaoxin Police Station received a report from a woman surnamed Wang in March saying valuables such as diamond rings, watches, gold coins, and necklaces, valued at 320,000 yuan (US$46,624), had gone missing.

The investigation showed that a man surnamed Yang, 32, who had a history of theft on his record, was the main suspect in the burglary. Yang fled to a village in Zhongshan City, but was caught April 20 and admitted to committing burglary. Police also detained four other suspects in Longgang District.

The case is still under investigation.

Contaminated food

NINE of the 876 batches of food that the market supervision administration checked in 395 eateries and restaurants in 10 districts and new areas were reported as having failed to meet standards, due to either containing sulfur dioxide residue or other excessive chemicals.

Two batches of food contained illegal additives.

Sweet potato noodles at a hotpot restaurant in Meilin, Futian District were determined by tests to contain sulfur dioxide and a hotpot restaurant in Shiyan, Bao’an District was reported for having contaminated flour.

The chicken and fish at two other restaurants in the city were found to contain an illegal animal remedy, which had been banned by the Ministry of Agriculture for posing a potential health threat.
