Uber office in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou has been raided by authorities as the company is under investigation for "organising private drivers to provide unlicensed businesses".
According to BBC, equipments including mobile phones have been seized by the local transport, police and industry bodies.
The Guangzhou Transport Commission said in a recent statement that the law enforcement department is cracking down on illegal businesses as these activities disrupt the market.
Uber was launched in China in 2014 and its service is now available in the capital, Beijing and other cities of Hangzhou, Guangzhou and Shenzhen.
Uber's offices in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen were also reportedly visited by authorities this week for a "routine inspection".
