Police call for real names on packages

Police departments across Guangdong province are urging logistics and express delivery companies to exp and their cooperation with law enforcement to fight gun trafficking and related crimes, which increasingly rely on the Internet for sales and communications.

Xie Zhiguang, a senior officer in the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Public Security, urged the adoption of a real-name system for deliveries by express services in the province.

Many guns and guns parts delivered by such services have been seized in past months, but the names of senders and receivers were all fake, making it difficult for the police to detain suspects, Xie said.
