E Jing Chu Net message (Chu Tian Metropolis Daily) (reporter Hao Yu, interns He Fei Yang, Kai Fu, Ju Peng, and correspondent Min Wu) How did thieves make off with a bank cash box from a money-in-transit vehicle? The police investigation revealed that it was the result of collusion between the money-in-transit officer and an outsider. Yesterday, a押运员 surnamed Cai from Wuhan Security Escort Company was prosecuted by the procuratorate on charges of embezzlement. Another man, Mr. Liu, was also charged with committing a crime together with Mr. Cai. According to the indictment, on March 21st this year, escort officer Cai conspired with Liu to steal money from the money-in-transit vehicle. At around 1 PM that afternoon, Cai drove a borrowed Fukan car and entered the parking lot of the escort company through the back door with Liu.
Cai drove the money-in-transit vehicle with license plate number A-YY154, parked in the parking lot, next to the Fukan car. He opened the two rear doors of the money-in-transit vehicle, took down a cash box entrusted for escort by a certain bank, and placed it in the trunk of the Fukan car. The two then fled in the Fukan car.
When the car was parked outside the primary school wall on Zhenxing Road in Fuxing Village in Hankou, Liu broke open the stolen cash box and took out 32,000 yuan in cash from two canvas bags inside the cash box. Subsequently, Liu drove the Fukan car to the Fuxing Village exit of Wuhan Commercial Chain Store, abandoning the car along with the cash box and bags. At around 3 PM, Cai fled to Zhengzhou by train with the stolen money.
Two days later, Cai and Liu were arrested by the police. Cai, aged 32, was formerly the deputy team leader of the money-in-transit vehicle group with license plate number A-YY154 at the escort company.
