Local residents said that they had spotted the alleged culprits involved in the same criminal activities at the same ATM machine before.

Manish Sisodia | 6 years ago | Reply Pakistan should release them immediately, if China gets angry there won't be any money left in ATMs for public.
BrainBro | 6 years ago | Reply Soon these Chinese would be hiring local touts to do their bidding. Cyber crime is a huge problem within mainland China also. The Chinese triads are involved in this and do this globally from Tokyo to the streets of Los Angeles.
