18 arrested for toxic waste dumping

Eighteen suspects have been arrested for dumping 1,000 tons of hazardous waste in north China’s Hebei Province, local authorities said yesterday.

Police in Xingtai City said they received a report of unknown waste dumping in Liucun Township in December and found more than 200 oil drums of black grease with a pungent odor covering the land. An investigation found the waste was transported from Zouping County in eastern Shandong Province at a cost of 1,200 yuan (US$190) per truck and dumped directly in Liucun.
