Shirtless thief gets caught in electric shutter in burglary attempt

A THIEF got his foot caught in an electric shutter door while trying to sneak into a building.

In a CCTV footage that went viral, the man looked like he was injured and waiting to be rescued, reported Nanyang Siang Pau.

The one-minute, 42-second video that was captured in Xianyou, Fujian province in China on Monday showed the shirtless suspect trying to sneak in as the shutter door was coming down after a man rode out of the premises on a scooter at about 5am.

The metal door ended up trapping his right foot.

His attempts to pull up the door failed and he eventually gave up.

Residents who found him an hour later alerted the police, who then came to rescue and arrest him.

> The daily also reported that an ambulance in Sri Racha district of Chon Buri, Thailand, was decked out with the famous Japanese cartoon character Doraemon.

The purpose is to distract and soothe injured passengers while being transported to hospital.

From the bright blue and white interior to Doraemon plush toys and the bright blue Doraemon sheets on the stretcher, non-profit rescue agency Paew Yiang Tai Foundation said on Facebook that the ambulance actually belonged to one of the volunteer rescuers.

> China Press reported that market demand for chicken eggs from Malaysia grew between 5% and 6% in the last two months following the issue of chicken eggs being contaminated with the insecticide fipronil in the Netherlands.

Selangor and Kuala Lumpur Egg Dealers Association president Liu Koon Wei said that increased demand from overseas also pushed up the price of chicken eggs in the local market.

“The price has been increasing weekly now. “The situation is expected to slow down only after the issue of contaminated eggs has been resolved in Europe,” he said, adding that Malaysia is a long-term chicken egg exporter to Hong Kong and Singapore, and other countries based on demand.

Although exports to Hong Kong had increased, Liu, however, noted that supplies of chicken eggs for local consumption were still sufficient.
