CCTV Solves Crime

I pick up this news from EastSouthWestNorth.

(Xinhua) The term CCTV here is based upon the UK usage of Closed Circuit Television. The following images were recorded in Beijing. In the first photo, a young man on a motorbike reached an intersection and pressed the button for the traffic light. In the second photo, the light has turned green and the motorcyclists moved ahead. A red BMW came flying down at 100 kmph. In the third photo, there was impact. The motorcyclist was dead on arrival at the hospital, while the red BMW fled the scene.




How was the crime solved? There are only just 40 or so red BMW's of this model in Beijing, which means that they are easily identifiable. Once the media broadcasts went out, an auto-repair shop called in to say a red BMW had been brought in for repairs to the windshield and front bumper. The police retrieved the replaced windshield and confirmed that there was a collision. However, the BMW had left the shop already. However, another civilian report led to the owner of a red BMW which was no longer seen in the neighborhood. The photograph of the owner's 24-year-old was shown to the auto-repair shop mechanic and positively identified. The man was then apprehended and he confessed to his crime. Where was the car? Based upon the confession from the culprit, it would be found in an unattended parking lot in the city of Foshan (Guangdong province) with a white paint job, new chassis and engine registration numbers and a Shanghai license plate!
