Public smooching covers up burglaries
( 2003-08-15 14:54) (China Daily)
A fashionably dressed couple fervently embraced and kissed each other outside
a residential complex in Fengcheng, Jiangxi Province to distract attention from
their accomplices who were breaking into residents' homes, reports Jiangnan
Metro News.
At about 8 am, patrolling police passed a residential complex where more than
30 residents had gathered to stare at the passionately expressive couple. One of
the residents said they had been going at it for half an hour. The suspicious
officers immediately began to check the apartments, only to discover two young
men nervously hurrying out of a flat, each carrying a canvas bag.
When police stopped and questioned the men, they confessed to plotting the
burglaries along with the kissing couple.
