Suspect caught for stealing luxury wine
Online Edition
A 60-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested for allegedly stealing over 300,000 yuan (US$44,000) worth of luxury baijiu and selling it to wine dealers, police said on Wednesday.
The suspect, surnamed Min, allegedly confessed that he discovered the boxes of baijiu, a Chinese alcoholic beverage made from grain, stored in a locked room in an underground parking lot on April 1 and transported them away with an e-bike at night on April 1 and 3.
The owner of the baijiu, including Moutai and Wuliangye, is a man surnamed Ye who runs a grocery store on Guoshun Road E. in Yangpu District.
Ye called the police on April 13 when he found that all of his inventory was gone from the room whose lock was breached, claiming that he last came down to the garage at the end of March.
Police said they soon spotted the suspect from street surveillance cameras and found that he dropped the baijiu in the bushes about five minutes away from the parking lot, and the baijiu was then lifted out of the bushes and carried away in a white minivan the next morning.
Min allegedly told police he sold seven boxes of baijiu for 12,600 yuan on April 2 to a wine dealer surnamed Meng, whose contact information he found on the street, but didn’t manage to make money from the rest of the stolen baijiu which was stored in private apartments in Yangpu and Putuo districts.
Meng has also been arrested, police said.
