Man buys vape online suspected to be fake, has drawn nearly 300 million yuan

According to China's relevant laws, all imported heated non-burning cigarettes have no legal source to prove their import and are not allowed to be sold in the country. Recently, Jiangsu Yangzhou sentenced a case of illegal sales of vape, and several defendants were sentenced. The cause of this case must be mentioned from Mr. Liu's online purchase of vape in Jiangsu.

Under the introduction of a friend, Mr. Liu found an vape online shop. He hoped that this smoking kit could really help him quit smoking successfully. After reading the introduction about this cigarette in the shop, he dispelled his concerns.

Mr. Liu: A friend said that it does not carry nicotine or tar amount, and said it has no significant impact on the body. The vape purchased by Mr. Liu is composed of smoking utensils and cigarettes. No e-liquid is needed. Cigarettes are also commonly known as "Cartomizer". After the smoking, the Cartomizer needs to be replaced. Speaking of which, this vape is really special. It must be heated in the smoking utensil before it can be smoked, and the "Cartomizer" is also difficult to buy.

In the end, Mr. Liu found a seller who exclusively sold Cartomizer through a mobile phone software, and bought two Cartomizers in an online shop called "Old Iron". After the courier arrived, Mr. Liu disassembled the Cartomizer and inserted it into the smoking set, but after taking two sips, he felt something was wrong.

Mr. Liu: After smoking, I feel that the taste is not the same as before, and it is reflected by the person who called the old iron in the online shop. He said that this is all right. However, regarding the seller's statement, Mr. Liu did not agree with him. He thought he had bought fakes, so he went to the police station and called the police.

According to China's relevant laws, all imported heated non-burning cigarettes have no legal source to prove their import and are not allowed to be sold in the country. Police immediately launched an investigation into the seller "Old Iron". Liu Hao, a police officer at the Bridge Center Police Station, Jiangdu District Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province: The micro-shop also marked authentic Japanese agents, and it is always available. This micro-shop mainly sells Martom Road and other brands of Cartomizer.

Obviously, the seller's Cartomizer was illegally smuggled into the country. The police quickly identified the true identity of "Old Iron" as Zhang, a Xiamen native in Fujian. After the investigation, the police found that one of the ten on-line surnames, Chen, had extremely frequent capital exchanges with the "Old Iron". After the situation was basically figured out, the police soldiers went to Xiamen and Shenzhen in two ways to apprehend the two criminal suspects.

Liu Hao, a police officer at the Bridge Center Police Station, Jiangdu District Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu: At that time, we entered the suspect's home and found that his studio was located in his home. There were a large number of computers, Cartomizers, and express parcels.

In this operation, the police successfully arrested 10 criminal suspects such as Zhang and Chen. However, after the police's analysis and analysis of the physical evidence on the scene, the seller's "old iron" has been launched more than just a few suspects who have been arrested. He also has a closer "partner", so who is this "big home" How about it?

Through the analysis of the ledger and data obtained during the arrest, the police followed the lead and clarified the true identities of these online. These on-line were distributed throughout the country, and a large-scale arrest operation was launched.

Within two months, the police have seized 12 on-line suspects, but the police encountered problems when they arrested Zheng on-line. Liu Hao, a police officer at the Bridge Center Police Station, Jiangdu District Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province: A few days before we arrived in Xinjiang, his partner, his cousin, was captured by the Zhejiang police.

Zheng is 35 years old and is from Fujian. His cousin's arrest made him a frightened bird. When the police found Zheng's temporary residence, he was already gone. After many setbacks, the police found Zheng's brother and understood his whereabouts. After repeated communication with Zheng's elder brother, he finally promised to help the police contact Zheng for persuasion.

Liu Hao, police officer at the Bridge Center Police Station, Jiangdu District Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province: Zheng found that he had no choice but to surrender to the public security organ. Police officer Wan Xiaoxue, Police Station, Bridge Center, Jiangdu District Bureau, Public Security Bureau, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province: He has been operating in the Horgos port in Xinjiang for a long time, so he used the camel team to smuggle Cartomizer from abroad, and he also attracted a courier , Specifically for him to send and distribute the goods, now the courier has also been arrested.
