Toy gun robbers get long prison terms
Four men in Chengdu, capital of Sichuan province, were sentenced to long prison terms last week, months after they robbed a jewelry store with guns that turned out to be toys.
The four criminals, all residents in the Xindu district of the city, used the guns to hold up the store and escaped with 200,000 yuan ($29,200) of jewelry.
