Strip trick fails to save robber
( 2003-09-23 11:48) (China Daily)
A robber tried to confuse his pursuers by removing his outer clothing but was
caught by an undercover policeman who witnessed the ploy, reports New Express
News.
The victim, Wu, was robbed of her cellphone at Guangzhou Eastern Railway
Station. She and several passers-by chased the robber to a terrace outside where
he managed to blend in with several other people sitting there.
As Wu only recalled the robber's clothing and not his face, she was unable to
identify the suspect.
But the robber did not get away because an undercover policeman happened to
see him removing an outer garment and hiding it on the terrace. The cellphone
was also found in the bundle.
