China's Ministry of Public Security has issued a Class A warrant
for the arrest of a 36-year-old man, who is a suspected gang leader
in eastern Jiangxi Province.
Police said Liu Yonghua was suspected of having organized a
series of crimes including murder, assault and inciting mob
disturbances. He disappeared last December.
Anyone who provides information that leads to Liu's arrest will
receive a reward of 50,000 yuan (US$ 6,250), according to the
warrant.
A class A arrest warrant is issued for suspects wanted in
connection with the most serious crimes.
In March 2004, the Public Security Ministry gave a motorcyclist
a 200,000 yuan (US$ 24,000) reward for a tip-off that led to the
capture of Ma Jiajue in China's southernmost province of Hainan,
three weeks after an A-level arrest warrant for his arrest was
issued.
