smuggling of more than 100 guns last week were deported from Singapore Thursday, one day after their arrest.
The two were named as Liao Wei-tsang (廖緯蒼), 30, an important cadre in a faction of the Bamboo Union organized crime gang, and Tseng Meng-han (曾孟瀚), 22, the Apple Daily reported.
Before the details of the operation were made public, Taiwanese media already spoke of “two mystery guests” on board a China Airlines flight from Singapore to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Thursday afternoon.
The case goes back to last Friday, when police in Sanxia, New Taipei City, found 109 guns and more than 12,000 rounds of ammunition in a container rented by a man they succeeded in arresting. [FULL STORY]
