The police arrested the theft suspect and retrieved 24 stolen computers within only 2 hours after receiving the 110 call. Recently, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Hongkou Public Security Bureau and Quyang Road Police Station jointly solved a burglary case.
On the afternoon of November 26, a company under the jurisdiction reported to Quyang Road Police Station that 24 new computers stored in the warehouse were stolen, with a value of over RMB170,000. After receiving the report, the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Hongkou Public Security Bureau and the police station immediately set up a special team to investigate the warehouse and surrounding areas. According to the company's public video, the theft occurred in the small hours 3 days ago. At about 3:00 on November 23, a man in black appeared in the surveillance video. He lingered in front of the door of the involved company for a long time and looked inward through the glass door for a few times. After several tries, the man opened an unlocked window and got in. When the man reappeared, he had two more boxes in his hands, which contained the stolen new computers. In the next half an hour, the man entered the room for seven times, stole 24 computers in batches and hid them.
Although it has been 3 days since the burglary happened, the police still quickly found out the suspect Mr. Zhuang with careful investigation. The suspect Mr. Zhuang was arrested by Hongkou police within less than 2 hours after the case was reported to the police.
After Mr. Zhuang was arrested, he confessed his crime. According to him, he sold the stolen computers to a video store at a total price of RMB8,400 on the morning of the day when he stole. Police closely followed the clues, quickly retrieved 24 computers, and arrested the shop owners Mr. Qing and Mr. Song together who bought the stolen goods. At present, Mr. Zhuang is suspected of theft, and Mr. Qing and Mr. Song are suspected of concealing the proceeds of crime. All of them are detained by the Hongkou police according to law.
Police alert: the storage of valuables requires necessary civil defense and technical defense measures. Especially the temporary warehouse on the first floor., the doors and windows must be closed tightly against criminals.
