Illegal LPG tanks crushed
About 280 illegal liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanks were destroyed in the Pudong New Area on Monday.
The gas tanks were seized in an on-going crackdown on the illegal use of LPG this year.
Shanghai police said they have caught 95 suspects so far.
The gas tanks were destroyed in a gas tank examination station in Heqing Town.
A machine crushed the tanks and turned them into recyclable iron.
In Shanghai, a number of users of illegal LPG tanks are small town restaurants.
