Police cooperate to disconnect phone frauds

Mainland police will try to pull the plug on phone fraud by joining hands with counterparts across Southeast Asia.

The move aims to remain on the tail of the criminal gangs that have moved overseas following a national crackdown in June, said Huang Zuyue, deputy director of the ministry's criminal investigation bureau.

"We're going to conduct joint actions against such trans-border crimes with police overseas," Huang said.
