Recently, Jiangchuan Branch of Yuxi Public Security Bureau beat down an illegal mining gang, arrested 17 people involved, seized 8 vehicles and 1 excavator.
"On May 9, the Investigation and Strike Department of Jiangchuan Branch received a clue handed over by the Natural Resources Bureau of Jiangchuan District, saying that seven truck drivers who illegally exploited phosphate ore were caught and asked the public security organs to deal with it." According to Zhou Faxing, a police officer in the political office of the Bureau, due to the large number of people involved, Jiangchuan Branch set up a special team to carry out the investigation, and successively arrested the organizers of the gang, Wu Mou, Yang Mou and the rest of the people involved. According to the confession of Wu Mou and Yang Mou, the main criminal suspect, they have friends who do phosphate business, so they know that the price of phosphate ore on the market is higher, and they always want to make a fortune by stealing phosphate ore. After hearing that there were phosphate mines in Jiangchuan District, he went to step on the spot many times, and then entrusted Li Mou of Fuyuan County, Qujing City, to rent excavators and trucks to steal phosphate mines at designated locations. In the early morning of May 9, Wu, Yang and others, without a mining license, directed drivers to drive excavators and trucks to Jiangchuan District to steal phosphate ore by telephone, intending to transport the stolen phosphate ore to Jinning District for sale, but they were caught in transit. After weighing, Wu, Yang and others stole more than 190 tons of phosphate ore, involving a value of more than 240000 yuan.
At present, Wu and Yang have been arrested on suspicion of illegal mining, and the rest of the people involved have been taken compulsory measures according to law.
