TAIPEI (Reuters) - Taiwan police captured a heavily armed fugitive whom they had been tracking for more than a year on Wednesday after he exposed his whereabouts by playing online computer games.
Taiwan evening newspapers said Chang Hsi-ming, wanted for murder, illegal possession of weapons and multiple kidnappings, was found via his Internet protocol address after police found out he often played games online.
The head of Taiwan's Criminal Investigation Bureau personally led the siege against Chang's hideout in central Taiwan, with more than 130 police and two armoured vehicles as he was known to be armed with assault rifles and hand grenades.
Chang was shot in the chest and shoulder during a gun battle and taken to hospital.
Police had offered a T$10 million (178,622 pound) reward for information leading to the capture of Chang, dubbed the "evil dragon" by local press.
Murder, kidnappings... takes raiding to a whole new level.
