Here’s a front page photo you don’t see everyday. This is the cover of a Chinese newspaper called the Southern Metropolis Daily. A bus station in Foshan, Guangdong, was being used by a gang of thieves who preyed on unsuspecting out-of-towners posing as motorcycle taxi drivers. Police arrested fourteen of them yesterday.
According to Danwei, last August this story detailed the arrest of 23 bus-station thieves in the same Foshan bus station, who amongst their several scams would pose as motorcycle-taxi drivers, and tell tourists fares that out-of-area mobile phones were liable to be confiscated by the police. Sure enough a “plainclothes policeman” would show up to search for “contraband.”
