Police in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region have destroyed two illegal gun workshops and detained four people involved, local authorities said Saturday.

On Oct. 25, 2009, the police caught a suspect surnamed Xiao at his mother-in-law's home in Jinde Village of Liujiang County, with 200 bullet shells, gun powder, and other materials for making bullets as well as for guns, a spokesman with the regional police said.

Three other suspects fled and started another workshop in Liujiang's Longqiao Village after the first workshop was destroyed, he said.

The three fugitives were caught by the police on March 23 with three shotguns and six uncompleted ones seized on site, the spokesman said. He revealed the surnames of two suspects as Luo and Zhang but declined to give the surname of the third one.

The spokesman alleged the suspects had sold guns online.
