Taipei, July 23 (CNA) A Russian national has been added to the list of suspects in the theft of 
more than NT$83 million (US$2.6 million) from First Bank automatic teller machines (ATMs) in Taiwan earlier this month, police said Saturday.
The latest addition is 42-year-old Oxana Sarkisova, who arrived in Taiwan from Macau at 11 a.m. July 11 and departed for Macau again at 8 p.m. that same night. She was previously listed as an associate in the case.
The latest findings by police show that Sarkisova headed directly to the Humble House Taipei hotel to look for her boyfriend Alexander Lvovskiy, another Russian suspect in the case, immediately after she got off the plane.
She was seen on surveillance camera footage pulling a piece of white luggage into the hotel at 6 p.m., police said.
The luggage, containing more than NT$22.51 million, was eventually handed to Evgenni Babii, also a Russian, who stored it in a locker at the Taipei Railway Station July 13. It was then taken away by Romanian Mihail Colibaba July 16, according to police. [FULL STORY]
