On March 18, China News Service reported that after being discovered stealing, a few thieves brazenly called their fellow townspeople to surround and attack the policemen and then took the opportunity to escape. In the morning of March 18, the Shaoguan Public Security Bureau informed the media that those involved in surrounding and attacking the policemen had been criminally detained and the escaped thieves had also been identified by the police.
At 8:45 pm on March 16, the Maba Police Station of the Qujiang Public Security Branch received a report that someone had been caught committing burglary in Room 102, Zhonghua Dongyuan Community. After receiving the report, three duty policemen immediately went to deal with the situation. When the policemen arrived at the scene, they found that three criminal suspects had already been caught by the owner and the public, so they informed the criminal investigation team of the branch and prepared to put the three criminal suspects into the police car.
At this moment, more than 20 men speaking Hunan dialect rushed out of the crowd, making a racket and pushing the policemen. Some of them even took several iron pipes from the car and surrounded and attacked the policemen, causing multiple policemen to be injured. The three burglary suspects who had been put into the police car escaped. Seeing this, the policemen fired warning shots into the air and captured the three criminal suspects who participated in obstructing official duties.
