POLICE in south China's Guangdong Province shot dead an alleged robber and seized another five after the suspects crashed an SUV at police checkpoints after a car chase.

A Foshan City police officer was trapped in his car after the men crashed their car into his during the chase, reported Guangzhou Daily today.

Police shot a 35-year-old suspect surnamed Wang, who died later in hospital. He and the others are alleged to have robbed a construction site about 3:30 am yesterday.

The case is still under investigation. It is the latest of a wave of construction site robberies recently in Foshan.

Nine men robbed two tons of steel worth 7,000 yuan (US$1,025) from a highway construction site earlier this month. Thirteen people armed with steel bars and cleavers robbed a railway construction site and took four oxygen cylinders in August.
