Police in central China's Henan Province have arrested a real estate tycoon who allegedly robbed a bank 16 years ago with four other suspects.
The billionaire surnamed Shi was arrested on Oct. 21 in Zhumadian City. Three others were apprehended the same day, and a fifth suspect on Oct. 24.
Back on Dec. 5, 1999, Shi and the other four suspects broke into a bank branch in Zhengzhou, the provincial capital. They took 2 million yuan, roughly 320,000 U.S. dollars, in cash, and seriously injured two bank workers. Shi is alleged to have masterminded the robbery.
The event shocked the nation, but the five suspects have eluded the law ever since.
Police say Shi, previously a construction project contractor, claimed most of the money from the robbery and used it to develop real estate in Zhumadian, earning billions in the process.

Beijing's quarantine authority is warning against the mailing of unauthorized dangerous substances through the postal or parcel delivery service after HIV-antigens were found in two regular packages.
Beijing Capital International Airport says around 29,000 cases were found at the airport in the first nine months of this year, involving international parcels and luggage that contain dangerous and illegal substances. The figure represents a 2 percent increase from that of the same period last year.
Among them, around 1,100 pest-infested items were found in parcels and luggage brought to Beijing. A variety of non-Chinese fauna and flora species have been detected in the parcels.
The authority says these are only a fraction of the total number of illegal parcels delivered in China, because only 3 percent of regular packages are routinely checked by quarantine officers.
