金沙鎮五福街六月十七日凌晨發生一起持械私闖民宅強盜案件，游姓歹徒持鐮刀強索財物，一度還意圖劫色，所幸，被害人處變不驚，與歹徒周旋拖延時間，並報警求援。警方則循線於清晨五時許在金沙車站附近將歹徒逮捕到案，突破心防起出犯案工具及四萬二千二百元贓款，全案依刑法加重強盜罪，移送福建金門地方法院檢察署偵辦。

According to Deputy Director Wang Minghong of Jinhu Precinct,(6) Mr. Yu, born in 1973, had come from Taiwan to work in Kinmen. Around 2:30 a.m on June 17, Mr. Yu carried a large sickle and broke into the home on Wufu Street through the second floor window, intending to rob the home and rape the owner. At 5:00 a.m Jinsha Police Station Duty Officer Chen received a phone call from the victim and, being familiar with the neighborhood, officers from Jinsha Police Station began pursuit at once. Because the victim recognized the voice of the burglar,(7) the police were able to find the suspect near Jinsha Bus Station within an hour. The man denied everything at first. But after forensic(8) specialists from the Criminal Investigation Division collected hard evidence obtained from a thorough search, the man realized it was pointless to deny his actions any further and admitted to the crime. He was taken back to the crime scene to describe to the police the process of the burglary.
金湖分局副分局長王明宏指出，六十二年次台籍來金工作的游姓男子，因缺錢花用，一時興起於十七日凌晨二時三十分左右，持大型鐮刀，越過二樓窗戶侵入五福街一民宅意圖劫財與劫色，金沙分駐所值班陳姓員警於清晨五時，接獲被害女子報案求助，警方掌握地緣優勢隨即展開追緝，並依被害人聽聲辨人提供線索，警方鎖定可疑對象，於清晨五時許在金沙車站附近查獲可疑嫌犯。歹徒原先矢口否認，經警方分工展開地毯式搜尋，刑大鑑識專家採集有利犯罪跡證後，歹徒見警方即將突破案情才坦承犯案，並帶領辦案人員重回現場，道出犯案過程。

Captain Huang Weijian of Jinhu Precinct's Detective Team said that the victim told the police the burglar had put the sickle against her neck in the middle of the night, blindfolded(9) her with a towel, tied her hands with a rope, and demanded NT$ 600,000 from her. She thought the voice sounded somewhat familiar. At one point the burglar even attempted to rape her. Fortunately, she negotiated and talked him into(10) taking only about NT$40,000 in cash and a Kinmen Kaoliang Inc. "Commemorative Vouchers". At 5:00 a.m she reported the robbery to Jinsha Police Station and the police solved the case within a short time. They found the mask and the sickle the burglar used during the crime and retrieved the money from the gutter(11) near the home the man rented.
金湖分局偵查隊隊長黃維堅指出，據被害人表示，半夜突然被歹徒持鐮刀架住脖子，並以毛巾矇住眼睛，聲音似曾相識，向她強索新台幣六十萬元，並以細繩將其雙手綑綁，歹徒一度興起性侵意圖，所幸千鈞一髮之際被害人和歹徒週旋拖延，最後僅被歹徒拿走新台幣四萬餘元現金以及一張金酒回饋券。被害人於清晨五時向金沙分駐所報案，警方則迅即破案，起出犯案用之頭套、鐮刀等犯案工具，並查獲歹徒藏於租屋處附近水溝蓋內之贓款。

According to Director Liu Quanyuan of Jinhu Police Precinct, the suspect was charged with forcible sexual harassment(12) and armed burglary of a private home during the night which prescribed(13) in the Criminal Law as a serious robbery. He was transferred to the Prosecutors Office of Fujian Kinmen District Court. The minimum prison term would be seven years.
金湖分局分局長劉全原指出，歹徒涉嫌強制猥褻及夜間持械侵入住宅，強盜被害人財物，行為已明顯違反刑法加重強盜罪，依法移送福建金門地方法院檢察署偵辦，其刑責最少七年以上。

News about the private home burglary quickly spread through the Wufu Street neighborhood at daybreak. In response to the anxiety and concern of the residents, Deputy Director Wang Minghong of Jinhu Precinct said that patrol in this neighborhood had already been increased since it was a chief rental apartment area in Jinsha. In the future, the police would reinforce screening and vigilance,(14) but also asked the citizens to be more careful by locking their doors and windows, and to look out for one another. They should immediately report to the police when seeing someone suspicious. The police need everybody's cooperation to build and maintain security for the neighborhood.
