A man’s plan to avoid handing over his pay cheque\u00a0to his wife by filing a false police report backfired, after police saw through his ruse with the help of traffic camera footage.<\/p>\n

The man, surnamed Cai, lives in Hangzhou in eastern China’s Zhejiang province. He was detained for 10 days and fined 500 yuan (S$103) for his act.<\/p>\n

According to a report in the Global Times on Monday (Sept 11), Cai had walked into a local police station on Aug 31, claiming to have been robbed while riding his electric bicycle home from work.<\/p>\n

But suspicions were raised when Cai appeared calm when questioned, and did not appear to be affected by the alleged robbery.<\/p>\n

A review of traffic camera footage from the area showed him riding on his electric bicycle, with not a robber in sight.<\/p>\n

Cai eventually admitted that he had wanted to file a false robbery report to avoid handing over money to his wife, having run out of excuses.<\/p>\n

“He said his wife is always asking for money whenever he gets paid,” said detective Chen Xi.<\/div>\n

“Sometimes he’d say he had lost it, or that he had spent it all.”<\/p>\n
