After receiving a tip-off in early October that a gang had purchased tobacco abroad and sold it across the country illegally, police in the city of Lanzhou, capital of Gansu, dispatched a task force to investigate the case.
According to the police, the gang has sold the tobacco to over 20 provinces, regions and cities.
