Banciao District (板橋).
The man, surnamed Yu (游), is suspected of robbing a Sunny Bank branch on Dusing Road at 2pm on Friday and was found at his residence with the money at 6:45pm yesterday, police said.
They said Yu barged into the branch carrying a gun, which was later discovered to be a toy, before reportedly fleeing the scene with NT$3.33 million (US$108,352) in cash, all of which took 101 seconds.
Police said they tracked Yu using surveillance camera footage, adding that he had fled the scene on a scooter, which had been reported stolen from the district’s Houpu (後埔) area. [FULL STORY]
