Twenty-five people were arrested in Hong Kong in a crackdown on a tomb-robbing antique-smuggling ring, the official China News Service said Wednesday.

These included pottery dating back 1,300 years to China’s T’ang dynasty, Ming porcelain bowls and vases and watercolors and scrolls by renowned Chinese artists.
