A masked “gold robber” crawled into the gold counter in order to bypass the infrared alarm in a Suzhou mall and stole all gold jewelry of three safety boxes within half an hour on 27th January. The local police station received the report from an employee and rushed to the scene immediately to find that three safety boxes in the gold counter were opened and more than 500 pieces of gold jewelries were stolen, resulting in a loss of over one million yuan.
On the surveillance tape, the police found a masked man crawling on the ground at 4:26 am. According to the analysis of relevant officers in the police station, as the circuit of infrared alarm can be seen with one’s bare eyes in the dark environment, the criminal suspect can avoid the alarm by crawling. In addition, speculation is that he observed this place in advance according to his familiarity with the layout when he was crawling through the store.
