Theft of PC chips probed by police
Print Edition
A MAN accused of stealing more than 800,000 yuan (US$128,000) worth of computer chips from the storage company he worked for in the Shanghai free trade zone has been detained, police said yesterday.
The 20-something, surnamed Zhang, from Anhui Province allegedly confessed to stealing about 30,000 chips between September and November last year.
A manager at Shanghai Waigaoqiao Feichi Co contacted the police in December after discovering that more than 7,000 chips, worth about 80,000 yuan, had gone missing from the company’s warehouse.
Workers had noticed chips going missing on three previous occasions, but the company had never before reported the matter, police told Shanghai Daily.
Zhang, who worked as an inventory checker, took advantage of the company’s lax security — it does not have any surveillance cameras — to sneak the chips out of the warehouse in boxes he had specially delivered to his desk, police said.
He was apprehended on January 4 in a car dealership in Shanghai as he was allegedly about to use his ill-gotten gains to buy an SUV.
Zhang is accused of selling the chips to vendors at the Huaqiangbei Electronics Market in Shenzhen after contacting them online.
Two vendors are being questioned in relation to the case, police said.
