Skilled thieves pull off 180,000-yuan heist

TWO men crawled on their bellies to escape infrared ray detectors and opened a safe box in minutes. This is not a scene in a Hollywood movie. It really happened in a factory in Guangzhou over the weekend.

The two men dodged five infrared ray alarms and several surveillance cameras, opened a safe box, stole 180,000 yuan (US$27,420) in cash and fled the factory in Guangzhou, capital of southern Guangdong Province, the local Southern Metropolis reported today.

The two men broke in through a window on Saturday morning, detached the first infrared ray detector, dodged two in the corridor, and crawled on the floor in an "S" route to avoid two more detectors in the factory's accounting office.

The video from one surveillance camera showed it took them only 20 minutes to complete the heist.

They also stole away a laptop but didn't touch the checks worth about 800,000 yuan in the safe box.
