China News Service, March 15 According to the WeChat official account of the Chinese Police Center in Cape Town, a Chinese businessman from Fujian was ransacked by seven robbers disguised as police.
These people disguised as police officers and entered the supermarket in the name of checking the disinfectant. When the Chinese shopkeeper asked to check the search warrant, the robbers took out pistols to intimidate the shopkeeper and controlled the shopkeeper and all employees.
