10 fugitives involved in cultural relic crimes wanted

BEIJING -- China's Ministry of Public Security has released on its website a new list of 10 wanted fugitives involved in major cultural relic crimes for public tip-offs.

The list was made public in an effort to crack down on crimes including tomb robbing, as well as stealing and trafficking cultural relics, the ministry said.

Chinese police have previously issued three such lists targeting a total of 30 suspects at large and have apprehended all of them, it added.

The police also asked the public to report any law-breaking activities associated with cultural relics and said that those who offered useful information and help would be rewarded.
