Man attacks customs officers upon interception with excess wine

A man cursed at and attacked Gongbei customs officers when he was intercepted by the Zhuhai customs department for carrying an excessive amount of wine while entering Zhuhai, the Gongbei customs authority has recently reported.
On the morning of February 6, the Macau resident, surnamed Lo, attempted to carry an excessive amount of wine over the border from Macau to Zhuhai. Gongbei customs officers spotted Lo and requested that he be inspected.
After he was searched, the officers ordered him to move to another area in order to instigate the relevant taxation processes regarding the wine.
Lo became agitated and refused to cooperate with the customs officers. He became non-compliant and attacked the customs officers, destroying baggage examination devices and other devices on-site.
Gongbei customs officers then contacted the Zhuhai police department to handle the situation. Lo’s behavior led to a temporary closure of one passenger channel at the Gongbei border gate.
Lo was arrested on charges of civil disobedience. According to a report by TDM, Zhuhai police authority is charging Lo with criminal offenses.
In April 2015, Gongbei customs authority intercepted a Macau woman transporting an excessive amount of wine to Zhuhai. She was ordered to pay duty taxes. While inside the duty-payment area, she drank all the wine in her possession. She spent nearly two hours drinking three liters of wine. She was reportedly obliged to pay a 50 renminbi duty fee for each bottle of wine, which was sold for 100 patacas per bottle in Macau. JZ
