Police say gambling-addicted friends masterminded China’s biggest gold heist, stealing almost $4 million worth of gold bars and other solid-gold items.
Authorities revealed that a group of individuals, driven by gambling addiction, successfully carried out a daring theft at a luxury gold retailer in Nanjing, escaping with a substantial haul of 27kg of gold on May 16. The audacious robbery, which shocked the nation, led to a widespread manhunt lasting four weeks before the perpetrators were apprehended.
