Posted on 2026-11-04 14:05:13
The New Taipei District Court has sentenced a man who robbed a bank in the
Banqiao District with a pair of stolen scissors to 7 1/2 years in prison.

The incident took place June 17.

According to the court verdict, the 50-year-old man stole the scissors
pan-fried dumpling and pot sticker store before entering a nearby branch of
the Taishin Bank, where he brandished the scissors and shouted for a teller
to "take out the money."

He then grabbed a customer and threatened to kill her if the bank staff did
not comply with his demands.

Bank tellers handed the man 404,200 N-T in cash, which he put in his pockets
and then sat in the waiting area until he was arrested by police.

Along with sentencing the man to 7 1/2 years for armed robbery, the court
also sentenced him to three months in prison for theft, commutable to a fine.

The district court rulings can be appealed.
