Shunyi Workshop Busted for Selling Fake Alcohol

Shunyi residents are reminded to remain vigilant when choosing their purchases after local police have revealed they have closed down two workshops for manufacturing counterfeit high-end alcohol products sold in Shunyi supermarkets.

A total of five people were arrested in two separate raids last week on Chinese New Year's Eve. Police reported that after surveilling an illegal transaction between two drivers at a remote part of Airport East Road, detectives followed one of the vehicles back to a workshop located in Hejinying, Gaoliying.

There, police discovered that a husband and wife named Shen and Liu were repackaging cheap wholesale baijiu liquor as counterfeit versions of Yanghe Classic Blue baijiu liquor. Along with bottling equipment, police found the workshop to be stocked with discarded Yanghe bottles purchased from a recycling center.
