A SUSPECTED robber ran directly into a police station in Longgang District after allegedly robbing a woman of her mobile phone on the morning of March 31. The man had not intended to turn himself in, but lost his sense of direction and ran into the police station by mistake, according to a statement made by Longgang police.

    Witnesses of the farce said the man, carrying a red plastic bag, ran into Nanling Police Station as fast as he could. A woman was chasing after him, screaming for help.

    Police officers on duty blocked the man’s way and asked why he had run so fast into the station. The suspect seemed regretful about the direction he had chosen for escape.

    The suspect, identified as Chang, had taken away the female victim’s mobile phone while she was waiting at a traffic light. When the woman realized her phone had been robbed she started chasing after the man.

    Under such an intense circumstance, the man did not have a second thought about the direction he was running and ran directly into the police station.

    Police asked if Chang was intending to turn himself in, the suspect denied this and said that he was not familiar with the roads in the area. He was detained at the police station.
