After nearly eight years on the run, a suspect surnamed Jiang was finally arrested with the help of Nantong immigration officers as security is stepped up for the upcoming Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province.

Jiang and other accomplices allegedly stole electric cables from a local communication network company in 2006.

On May 26, officials found Jiang matched the profile of a suspect at large posted on the online security system of Puyang police in Henan province.
