Mechanics' extortion attempt lands them in jail
(China Daily)
Updated: 2008-11-19 09:47 Three mechanics in Huzhou, Zhejiang province, used a toy gun to extort 3 million yuan from family members of a BMW sedan owner. The trio had worked repairing cars for a long time and was envious of people with luxury cars. On Nov 1, they followed a BMW driver to a remote site and purposely drove into it with their car. When the BMW owner got out to inspect the damage, he was abducted by the trio wielding a toy gun. After successfully extorting money from the victim's family that night, they fled to Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang, where they were caught by police the next day. (Urban Express) |
