In-house doorways, outsiders. People who don't know how to shoot, they really think it's useless! On 21 october, the sichuanda state police published a case that made people laugh: tens of thousands of dollars worth of single back camera footage, which was used as waste and sold at a price of $5. 91 per pound。
Part of the lost property found by the police at the junkyard
Victim call: about $100,000 worth of photographic equipment stolen
In recent days, the dagawa division of public security of the city of dazhou has received reports from a photographer who reported the theft of photographic equipment worth approximately $100,000 in the trunk of his vehicle. After receiving the police, the civilian police quickly arrived at the crime scene to investigate。
According to the civilian police officer in the case, the victim claimed that the stolen camera bag contained a high-end single reverse camera, three different types of single reverse lenses and a flashlight, with a total value of approximately $100,000。
The civilian police quickly retrieved a video of social surveillance installed by a businessman near the scene of the crime and found that, in the early hours of the day, a middle-aged man carrying a shopping bag had appeared near the scene of the crime and from time to time pulled the car door by the roadside. According to the victim, he might have forgotten to lock the door that night, and the man was more suspicious. However, owing to the poor light at the time, the civilian police were unable to discern the profile of the suspect。
Suspects sell scrap metal
Civilian police investigation: single back camera was sold as scrap
Subsequently, the civilian police officers on the case went to the scene to conduct a visit, and residents and businesses in the neighbourhood reported that a mid-aged man of over 50 years of age had been in the vicinity of the scene of the crime for a long period of time, often by pulling doors to steal goods in the car, but most of the victims had not reported it because of the small amount involved。
At the same time, the civilian police were informed that the scavenging man was a frequent visitor at a nearby junk shop. The civilian police decided to take chances at the junkyard. However, when asked at the waste shop, the owner of the waste shop stated that it was not clear what a single back camera looked like, although he recalled that the man who had been collecting the waste had taken a bag to sell on the day of the crime。
The missing photo bag
At the time of the civilian police investigation, the owner of the waste station had proposed a red shopping bag. C. P. O., take a look. It's got two brand-new single backs and a lot of camera parts
"i've got $5. 91 for these things." the owner of the waste station told the civilian police that he did not know exactly what it was when he was picking up the items, but thought that the rings above should be able to be removed for sale and eventually sold at the price of scrap。
Suspect is under police control
Suspect found: other camera equipment hidden in closets
At the scrap buying station, the photographic equipment found by the civilian police on the scene, with the exception of the one-way camera body, is mostly in possession of lost items sold and the waste station will be dismantled in the future。
Following a comprehensive visit to the investigation, the civilian police quickly identified the suspects。
The suspect was found to be tang chiu, a 55-year-old from the dagawa district, living in an old residential building in the city of dazhou. Upon receipt of this information, the police officer who conducted the case went to one of the homes in tang to block it and found other photographic equipment stolen by the source from his bedroom closet。
The case is currently being investigated further because of the high value of the property involved and the criminal suspect, tang hoi, has been detained by the police。
