An attempted robbery was reported at a silver shop on Nanrong Road in Keelung City on the afternoon of the 7th. A 24-year-old man surnamed Wang sprayed the 80-year-old boss surnamed Xie with pepper spray and attempted to rob the gold jewelry. There were two customers in the store at the time, and one of them also helped the store hunt down the suspect. After receiving the report, the police quickly arrested the robbery suspect within an hour. They originally thought that the customer who was chasing the robbery suspect was "acting bravely", but later found out that the three people were actually accomplices. Yesterday, they followed the lead and arrested a 25-year-old Zhou man and a 22-year-old Wang man. The Keelung Prefectural Court today (13th) ordered Brigadier Generals Zhou and Wang to be detained and prohibited from seeing them.

Police investigation revealed that a 24-year-old man surnamed Wang who lives in Kaohsiung broke into a bank store on Nanrong Road at about 2 pm on the 7th, and then sprayed pepper spray on the 80-year-old boss surnamed Xie in an attempt to loot the store's gold jewelry. However, at that time, the gold jewelry was still locked in the cabinet and had not been taken out. In addition, there were two male customers present in the store. Seeing that he could not succeed, Mr. Wang immediately turned around and rushed out of the door.

After receiving the report, the police in the jurisdiction immediately launched an interception and roundup. Within just one hour after the incident, the robbery suspect named Wang was quickly arrested. After the prosecutor resumed the hearing, he applied to the court that night for permission to be detained. At first, the store owner told the police that when the incident occurred, two customers in the store immediately rushed out of the store to chase after the incident. They thought they were encountering enthusiastic people who were "bravely trying to chase the suspect".

However, after the case, when the police expanded their review of surrounding surveillance footage to reconstruct the robber's escape route, they discovered that the case had been completely reversed. The footage showed that after a 25-year-old male customer surnamed Zhou from Kaohsiung caught up with the suspect surnamed Wang, instead of suppressing the situation, they parted ways after a brief contact. The police determined that this "chase drama" was probably staged and determined that the two customers were basically accomplices of the robbery.

After obtaining the evidence, the police closed the net and went south to Kaohsiung on the 11th to arrest a man named Zhou. Yesterday, they arrested a 22-year-old man named Wang who lives in Keelung. After the prosecutor resumed the hearing, it was determined that Zhou and Wang were involved in a serious crime of aggravated attempted robbery, and there was a risk of colluding or destroying evidence. They requested the court to detain them without permission. The court ruled early this morning that they would be detained without permission.
