A gang has been arrested in southern China for selling tonnes of reprocessed used cooking oil from restaurants, according to a newspaper report.

The group’s leaders were a 45-year-old man and his 25-year-old nephew who collected restaurant waste in Guiyang in Guizhou province, the Guizhou City News said.

They sold about 30 tonnes of the “gutter oil”, according to the article.

The gang processed the oil in a yard in the city suburbs before transporting it to Hubei province for further processing. The oil was later mainly sold in central China.

The duo began their illegal business in November and sold the gutter oil for 2,000 yuan (HK$2,400) per tonne. That yielded a 600 yuan to 800 yuan profit per tonne, the report said.

The operation drew the attention of police when officers noticed dozens of oil buckets in a backyard. Officers also found two trucks fully loaded with oil slops.
