22 suspects found dealing in guns, bullets

Police in Jiangsu province captured 22 suspects across China for illegally selling and buying guns and ammunition online.

Police in Changzhou, Jiangsu, made the announcement, saying they had seized eight air guns, 27,000 lead bullets and six sets of bullet molds in more than 10 provinces, capping a three-month investigation.

In April, police in the city's Jintan district noticed that some people were selling "dog food" and asking for a "rabbit" in an outdoor sport-themed online group chat. Knowing that "dog food" and "rabbit" are codes for bullets and air guns, the police immediately investigated.
