The Ministry of Public Security (MPS) has issued a Class A warrant for the arrest of a 48-year-old man suspected for his alleged involvement in the murders of seven people in the border area of China and Vietnam.

Wang Yuzhong, a native of Wenshan Zhuang and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in southwest China's Yunnan Province, allegedly killed seven people and injured three in five separate incidents with his accomplices starting in December last year, the MPS said.

Anyone with information leading to Wang's arrest will receive a 50,000 yuan (about 6,667 U.S. dollars) reward, according to the ministry.

Three suspected accomplices, Yang Mingzheng, Yang Tingzhi and Hou Zhengming, were also wanted by the MPS. A reward of 10,000 yuan each has been offered for information leading to their arrests.

The ministry warned that the fugitives were probably armed with grenades.
