The Judiciary Police (PJ) arrested a mainland suspect on Friday about a scooter robbery in Taipa earlier this month, PJ spokesman Choi Ian Fai said yesterday during a special press conference at the PJ headquarters in Nape.
Choi said that the police received a report from a mainland couple on October 13, stating that when they were walking along Estrada da Baia de Nossa Senhora da Esperança at 3 a.m. that day, a scooter suddenly approached them. A man riding pillion grabbed the male victim’s bag, which contained a total of 40,000 yuan. The scooter rider sped away when the couple tried to give chase but failed to catch them.
After investigating the direction the scooter was ridden, the police discovered that it had headed towards Nape.
