Some of the space bags have been buried in the ground, and there are about a dozen bags scattered on the ground ready to be buried. Another car has just entered the site and is about to be stolen. The smell is so bad that the county Environmental Protection Bureau once asked the village chiefs of Qingpu and Ruixing villages to help evacuate surrounding residents.

However, the sludge theft incident occurred in Qingpu Village at 5 o'clock yesterday evening.
