LHASA, July 21 -- Police in Tibet have nabbed 70 alleged1 gang members on charges including involvement in organized crime, gambling2, usury3, public fighting and drug trafficking.

 

The police in Xigaze, a city in western Tibet, seized steel pipes, hacking4 knives, drugs, pornographic video disks and 100,000yuan for gambling during the crackdown on the gang.

 

The police also seized IOUs and five account books for usury involving more than 3 million yuan.

 

Ringleader Li Nianbing and gang members began the illegal practices since the beginning of this year and became a public security concern in Xigaze, according to the police.

 

The police nabbed 64 alleged gang members in Xigaze within half an hour on July 17. Hours later, runaway5 Li Nianbing was detained on a highway 115 kilometers away from Xigaze and the other five detained in a county hotel.

China's law enforcement agencies have cracked 125 cases and prosecuted9 246 suspects involved in organized crime from the beginning of 2006 to March this year, government statistics showed.
