A man who robbed a post office at gunpoint in Nantou County yesterday was arrested at Taoyuan International Airport this morning, August 18.

Friday, August 17, at around 4:15pm, a man wearing camouflage pants, a plain t-shirt, a cap, and a surgical mask, entered a small post office in a rural area of Lugu Township. The man pointed a handgun at a teller, and demanded the contents of the cash draw.

The nervous teller handed over bundles of cash totaling NT$500,000 before the gunman fled.

Investigating police discovered that a man had driven to the vicinity the day previous to the robbery, and stolen license plates from a car. Yesterday, he returned to the Qingshui Post Office driving the car with the stolen license plates.    [FULL  STORY]
