A young man impersonated a delivery driver, stealing takeout when he was hungry and milk tea when he was thirsty. In just three months, he gained over fifty pounds.
"Just two or three months ago, he wasn't this heavy. He stands about 5 feet 9 inches tall and probably weighed around 150 to 160 pounds back then. But when the police apprehended him, his weight had exceeded 200 pounds."
Can you believe it? When the police found him, they were stunned; the young man had transformed into a hefty individual weighing over 200 pounds.
How did he manage to go undetected for those three months, and how did he ultimately get caught?
**Crime Scene: Guangdong Shenzhen.**
On August 26, 2020, a restaurant owner called the local police to report a theft.
The caller stated that a mysterious order worth 250 yuan had gone missing from his restaurant and suspected it had been stolen.
Upon learning of the situation, the police immediately went to investigate.
Upon arriving at the scene, the police reviewed surveillance footage and discovered that on the afternoon of August 26, a man wearing a yellow helmet entered the dining area of the mall. He confidently walked over to the pick-up area and took a delivery order with him.
His attire resembled that of a delivery driver.
As he was leaving, he glanced at his phone, leading the restaurant staff to believe he was confirming an order. However, he weighed the takeout in his hands and seemed to find it insufficient for his appetite.
Then he went to a dessert shop and took another dessert. The staff who had received complaints from customers refused to believe that the takeaway was stolen, but they suddenly realized it after seeing the surveillance video. After tracking and investigating through surveillance along the way, the police successfully arrested the Young Man who pretended to be a takeaway boy to steal takeaways in a local Internet cafe. It was learned that the Young Man was named Zhang. He was a habitual offender. Just last year, he was sentenced for theft, but just a few months after he was released, he committed a crime again. It turned out that Zhang was lazy and didn't go out to find a job after being released from prison. Without a source of income, he wanted to go back to his old business. One day, he saw the helmet and jacket of the takeaway boy on the roadside left on the car, so he stole them. After that, he began to pretend to be a takeaway boy to steal food everywhere. Seeing Zhang's outfit, the staff in the hotel didn't think much about it, and even didn't care about the complaints from customers. In this way, he would go to get meals when he was hungry and milk tea when he was thirsty. In just two or three months, he committed dozens of crimes and was never discovered. But he never expected that he would eventually steal a barbecue worth 250 yuan and be caught by the police. Zhang was also detained for theft. Do you think Zhang will change his ways?
Just in 2021, Zhang, who was released from prison, committed a crime again. According to a convenience store owner, a man used takeout to cheat him out of two packs of cigarettes worth 1,400 yuan. After the merchant called the police, the police did not see who the man was when they checked the surveillance because the man was dressed very tightly. But when Officer Yu, who investigated the theft case last year, saw the surveillance video, he felt that the man was very familiar. After careful observation, he found that the man was Zhang who was arrested last year for stealing takeout. After he was released from detention, he was unemployed and had nothing to eat, so he began to consider taking the old path again, so he started stealing takeout again. After stealing the takeout, he didn't eat it himself, so he took it to the convenience store, which was equivalent to cheating the owner, exchanging cigarettes or other goods, and then exchanging them for money. What's more coincidental is that the police still caught him from the Internet cafe this time, and he sold the cigarettes he cheated to passers-by at a low price of 500 yuan. If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang will have to spend some time in prison. I wonder if he will continue to commit crimes after he is released from prison.
