Criminals advised not to boast about their exploits

A man who robbed 100 yuan ($14.60) more than two years ago was caught after talking about the crime while chatting with colleagues in Wuhan, capital of Hubei province.

Zhu, 19, who escaped after he robbed a van driver in June 2006 was employed as a security guard by a local research institute in the city's Jiangxia district early this year.
