Woman gets 3 days in jail for theft scam
Print Edition
A FOREIGN woman was recently detained for three days for falsely claiming to have had 800,000 yuan (US$129,000) worth of valuables stolen from her bag, Shanghai police said yesterday.
The woman surnamed Wu, whose nationality was not disclosed, contacted the police on June 18 to report the theft of a purse containing a luxury watch, two diamond rings and a platinum ring.
Wu said that she had been paying bills at the First Food Mall on Nanjing Road Pedestrian Mall when she noticed the purse missing from her shoulder bag, police said.
When officers investigated, however, they were unable to find any evidence of the alleged crime on footage from the shopping center’s surveillance cameras.
When pressed on the matter, Wu confessed to fabricating the story and said she was planning to make an insurance claim for the missing items once back in her home country, police said.
