Billionaire nabbed for connection to armed bank robbery 16 years ago

AN influential billionaire was among five people who were nabbed in connection to an armed bank robbery 16 years ago in Zhengzhou, capital of central China’s Henan Province, police said in a press conference today.

The robbery occurred on December 5, 1999, when five men broke into an outlet of the Bank of Zhengzhou, robbing 2.08 million yuan and severely wounding two bank employees with guns, police said.

Police investigation went in vain as hardly any evidence was left at the scene. This year, police restart a probe into the case as some new evidences emerged.

Investigators probed in Zhengzhou and its surrounding areas, and finally located three of the suspected robbers, including a 53-year-old man surnamed Shi, who is now a local real estate tycoon, it reported.
