Breaking fences

A MAN was detained for five days recently for unscrewing part of the fence on Longmei Road as his female colleague complained that she had to detour from the route to the office because the fence was blocking her way.

Video provided by Longhua police showed the man climbing over the fence in the wee hours of July 31 and unscrewing the fence.

Police identified the man Aug. 7 by reviewing surveillance camera footage.

On Aug. 8, two other men in Longhua were also detained for dismantling fences, which they thought were affecting their business.
