The Yichang authorities recently cracked a big case of antique theft. The suspect, Zhu, had apparently been accumulating the collection for over three years. Since 2011 he has been preying on upscale districts of the city. Statues of Buddha, wood and ivory carvings as well as valuable jade carvings were found dotted around his small house.
Discovered among his collection were priceless treasures from the Zhou and Shang Dynasties (that’s over 3,000 years old), the value of which is literally inestimable, according to Beijing experts.
Zhu has been arrested as is awaiting trial for grand theft.
