Suddenly, lots of people ran out, and many police cars arrived shortly afterwards, and they rushed over. By the time I passed by, the police had already restrained him.

Members of the public and bank tellers on the scene looked quite frightened. When we arrived on the scene, he was still holding the scissors. We made him drop them. He also didn’t resist much.

This instance of crime, the suspect’s cash robbery at the bank, has concrete evidence. Whether it was premeditated or whether there are accomplices remain to be investigated.
After the suspect surnamed Wang got hold of the NT$404,200, instead of running off, he calmly took a seat and started counting the money. He was also compliant when the police arrived. Fortunately, no one was injured. According to the police, Huang is a repeat offender. The police have also requested prosecutors order him to be detained.
