According to reports (reporter Mu Yi, correspondent Li Tong), Jiang, a 23-year-old man from Shandong province, got drunk and tried to withdraw money from an ATM. However, his bank card was swallowed by the ATM. In anger, Jiang smashed the ATM with a brick. On September 9, Jiang was criminally detained by the Daxing police.
In late May, around 11 PM one night, the Daxing police received a report that a traffic bank ATM located on Jiuzhong Road in Daxing's Jiugong town had been smashed. After receiving the report, the police immediately arrived at the scene and found that the display screen glass of the ATM had been smashed, and there was a brick left on the ATM's display screen. The suspect had disappeared. After counting, it was found that the cash inside the ATM had not been stolen. According to bank staff, the ATM's display screen alone cost 7000 yuan.
The police reviewed the bank's surveillance footage from that night. In the video, a man first hit the ATM's display screen with his fist, then found a brick and violently smashed the ATM, eventually breaking the display screen glass. The police discovered that the suspect had attempted to insert a card into the ATM before smashing the display screen, and immediately requested assistance from the traffic bank for the investigation. The police retrieved the information of the bank card owner and, after comparing it with the surveillance footage, found that the owner of the bank card was the person who had smashed the ATM that night.
Upon investigation, the suspect's surname was Jiang, and he was a migrant worker from Shandong province. After investigation and reconnaissance, on the evening of September 7, Jiang was caught by the police at a hotel.
According to Jiang's confession, that night he drank a lot of alcohol while having dinner with friends. After drinking, he wanted to take his friends singing, but since he didn't have enough money, he went to the ATM to withdraw some. Unexpectedly, his bank card was swallowed, which made him very angry. Driven by his drunkenness, he smashed the ATM.
