Bag full of unfired bullets found on Taipei sidewalk
2026-04-02
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.

Minsheng Community
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.

“實際來到富錦街，當時裝有子彈的塑膠袋，就是丟在這邊，民眾經過好奇一看，發現裡面裝有大量的子彈也嚇得趕緊報警。”

“我覺得不可思議耶，怎麼會有這樣子的事情呢?因為民生社區整個社區的管理是非常好的。”
劉姓男子請了私人清運業者來收垃圾，家中的印尼籍移工，發現還有個垃圾袋，就一起交給李姓清運業者，沒想到李姓男子打開一看，裡面竟然是子彈。覺得很難處理就丟在路邊，警方循線找到劉姓男子，他供稱子彈是阿公生前合法持有的獵槍子彈，過世後依法繳回獵槍，但沒注意家裡還留有子彈。

“全案詢後，依違反槍砲彈藥刀械管制條例，函送地檢署偵辦。”
