Guangxi News Network-South China Morning Post Nanning News (Reporter Lu Di) Due to the lack of money, Ban Mou, a drug addict, went to a supermarket in Nanning several times, stole 14 barrels of crushed peanut oil by ants, and then resold it to others at a low price. On the evening of January 12, when someone on duty went to the supermarket to steal again, he was caught by the police on the spot.
Recently, in a supermarket on Zhuxi Avenue in Nanning, the staff found that the bottled peanut oil on the shelf was often missing. The staff noticed that a man in his 40 s who was thin recently often came to the supermarket and looked suspicious. On the evening of January 12, when the man appeared in the supermarket again and saw that he was ready to leave, the staff stopped him and called the police.
The police of the riverbank police station of Nanning Public Security Bureau rushed to the scene after receiving the police. The police asked the man to open the big black satchel in his hand and found that there was a barrel of brand squeezed peanut oil in the bag. After investigation, the man surnamed Ban, 42 years old, from Hengxian County, was positive for morphine urine test and was suspected of taking drugs. It is understood that since 2003, Ban has been dealt with by the police many times for taking drugs.
According to Ban, because there is no job and drug abuse, money is very tight. At the beginning of this year, he accidentally found that there were two doors in this supermarket on Zhuxi Avenue, and the side door led to the lobby of a hotel, and there was no anti-theft device installed, so he moved his mind. From January 3rd, every other day, Ban Mou went to the supermarket to steal the brand and squeeze peanut oil, put the peanut oil into a big black satchel, and then left from the side door without anti-theft access control, which was successful every time.
According to the supermarket, a total of 14 barrels of brand pressed peanut oil were stolen, each worth more than 140 yuan, with a total value of nearly 2,000 yuan. According to police investigation, Ban Mou resold the stolen peanut oil to others at a price of 90 to 100 yuan per barrel, and the money he got has been squandered by him.
On January 13th, Ban was arrested on suspicion of taking drugs. After the expiration of the detention period, the police will criminally detain Ban on suspicion of theft.
