Tianjin News Network, Urban Express reporter Jian Chang, correspondent Jing Liu - Immediate Broadcast: The card in the ATM had not been removed, and He Mou discovered this secret. In the face of greed, he ultimately could not control himself. He proceeded to withdraw cash madly from the ATM. As he thought that no one would know about his effortless acquisition of so much wealth, the bank's surveillance camera recorded his actions without blinking. He will now face severe legal punishment.

On the afternoon of November 7th, the Quanxing Road Police Station of the Wuqing Branch of the Public Security Bureau received a report stating that at around 10 o'clock in the morning, Mr. He's bank card was left behind in the ATM and was subsequently stolen for a total of 18,000 yuan after being verified. After receiving the report, the police immediately rushed to the scene. After reviewing the bank's surveillance footage, it was learned that after Mr. He made his withdrawal, a young man riding an electric bike came to the ATM to withdraw money. Upon discovering that there was still a bank card in the ATM, the man calmly withdrew money nine times, each time withdrawing 2,000 yuan, for a total of 18,000 yuan. The meticulous police officers noticed that after the man finished withdrawing money, he took a taxi and left, leaving his electric bike parked outside the bank. The police estimated that the man would certainly return to retrieve the electric bike. Therefore, the police split into two groups; one group investigated the direction of the taxi, while another group conducted secret surveillance work around the bank.

Approaching 7 o'clock in the evening, the investigation group reported back, saying that the man had taken a taxi to the Wuqing Bus Terminal. Could the man have fled with the money? As the police were analyzing the possible escape directions of the man, the surveillance group made a new discovery. Around 9 o'clock in the evening, a man was seen loitering around the entrance of the bank, occasionally staring at the electric bike. Seeing no one around, he quickly rode off on the bike. Judging by his appearance, the man's clothing and hairstyle differed greatly from those of the man who withdrew money in the morning. However, it was certain that this man had some connection to the person who withdrew the money. Thus, the police acted swiftly, controlling the man as he was about to leave on the bike and handing him over to the Economic Crimes Investigation Brigade.

After further investigation by the Economic Crimes Investigation Brigade, it was determined that the man riding the bike was indeed the same man who withdrew the money in the morning. After obtaining the money, the man went to Langfang City, bought new clothes, and got his hair permed, making it difficult for the police to recognize him in the dark. The man confessed that when he withdrew money that day, he found a bank card in the ATM, pressed the button to continue the transaction, and proceeded to withdraw money madly until the machine could no longer perform any operations. Thinking that his actions were flawless, he never expected to be caught by the police just after returning from his "splurge." Currently, the suspect has been criminally detained by the police according to law.
