Beijing police have raided an apartment building in the city's Chaoyang district and expelled eight foreign tenants who had stayed in China on expired visas, the Beijing Evening News reported Sunday.
In late February, the Sanjianfang police station of the district's public security bureau received tip-offs about the foreigners from residents of the surrounding community.
Police found eight Asian females with expired visas living in the apartment. The foreigners were handed over to the exit-entry administration division of the Beijing municipal public security bureau for further investigation.
The women entered China through Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong province, on tourist visas in January and then went to work in Fujian province, police said. They did not apply for extensions when their visas expired, according to the report.
They came to Beijing in February to avoid detection by police, the report says.
