Last Sunday, a plastic bag containing 114 unfired shotgun bullets was found on the sidewalk of Taipei’s Minsheng Community. After the police was alerted about it, they discovered that it came from a man surnamed Liu, who’d hired a private waste management company to collect discarded items from his home. It ended up out in the open, because the waste collector, another man surnamed Lee didn’t know what to do with it. On Thursday, the police concluded their investigations and filed the case with prosecutors.
Two police officers squat by the sidewalk. They were notified of this discarded plastic bag full of unfired bullets.
In total, the bag contains 114 shotgun bullets.

We’re now on Fujin Street, where the plastic bag containing bullets was discarded—right here. A passer-by noticed the bag and found that it contained a large number of bullets. Frightened, they called the police.

I find it incredible. How can this possibly be? Because the whole Minsheng Community is very well managed.
The bullets came from the home of a man surnamed Liu, who had hired a private waste management company. His live-in domestic worker assumed that the bag of bullets was to be discarded too, so it was handed over to the waste collector, a man surnamed Lee, who was shocked to find that it was filled with unfired bullets. Not knowing what to do, Lee left it on the roadside. The police eventually tracked down Liu, who claimed that the bullets belonged to his late grandfather, who had a permit to possess a shotgun. Liu also claimed that his grandfather’s shotgun was turned in to authorities, but that he was unaware that there was still a bag of bullets at home.

We’ve finalized interviews about the case in violation of the Firearms, Ammunition, and Knives Control Act, and filed it with local prosecutors.
The police has filed the case with prosecutors, with both Liu and Lee to be named as defendants.
