Foshan News of Our Newspaper (Reported by Xiaopeng Weng, Correspondents Maoseng Wen, Xuejun Wu, and Jun Gu): At around 8 p.m. last night, the Foshan Public Security Bureau announced to the media that early in the morning two days ago, Nanhai detectives braved the cold wind and rain, lying in wait for over 10 hours in Leqiao, Shunde, and successfully captured all three suspects. On the evening of October 17th, these three men held up a woman with her 2-year-old child in Yanbu, Nanhai, robbed her bank card, and withdrew more than 70,000 yuan.
These three men are Zhang ×, Sun ×, and Peng ×. That afternoon, they had been looking for targets near the markets and shops in Yanbu. They noticed the female victim, Ping, driving a black luxury car and parking it on the roadside opposite the gate of a school. She then got out of the car holding her child and entered a children's clothing store.
Plastic handgun robbery
At about 6:30 p.m., Ping came out of the children's clothing store with her child and got into the car. Peng × rushed forward with a black plastic handgun, opened the car door, and pointed the plastic gun at Ping, shouting, "Don't move, I'm robbing you!" Startled, Ping screamed and instinctively shielded her child with her body, simultaneously swatting Peng ×'s plastic handgun to the ground. Sun ×, who was standing nearby, immediately rushed over and covered Ping's mouth to prevent her from shouting. Zhang × also got into the car, seized the steering wheel, and drove away. They stole more than 200 yuan in cash, a mobile phone, and bank cards from Ping, and threatened her to force her to reveal the password. After nearly four hours of effort, Peng × withdrew more than 30,000 yuan in cash from several banks and used the card to purchase a gold necklace and four gold rings at a jewelry shop, worth over 40,000 yuan.
Suspects apprehended in Leqiao on the 14th
After receiving the report, the Nanhai police immediately formed a special investigation team. At around 9 a.m. on November 13th, the officers discovered that the three suspects had appeared at a hotel in Leqiao, Shunde. Upon investigation, it was found that the three suspects had left just 10 minutes earlier. The officers thus remained outside the hotel waiting. Around 12:30 a.m. on the 14th, the officers on standby observed Zhang × and Sun × return to the hotel. Around 1 a.m., Peng × appeared. The officers rushed into the room where the suspects were staying, subdued the three of them, and recovered three gold rings.
