A University of Macau (UM) security guard\nnamed Zhou Jianqiang yesterday (6 March) received the Good Citizen Award from\nthe Macao Public Security Police Force (CPSP) on the occasion of the 325th\nanniversary of the CPSP for successfully catching a thief on the UM\ncampus. <\/p>
Zhou saw a suspicious-looking man climbing\nover the fences on the platform of the seventh floor while patrolling the\npostgraduate houses yesterday noon. Zhou demanded to see the man\u2019s identity\ndocument and found that the picture on the student card produced by the man\nlooked different from the man\u2019s appearance, so Zhou caught the man and called\nthe police. Later the police found on the man several identity documents\nbelieved to belong to other people. The man is now in police custody.<\/p>
A postgraduate student surnamed Zhang from\nthe Faculty of Law, who is one of the victims of the thief, says, \u2018I felt very\nafraid after discovering that someone had broken in and stolen my stuff. Thank\nGod the security guard caught the thief.\u2019 Later Zhou and the student appeared\nin court together to testify against the suspect.<\/p>
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZhou has been working at UM\nas an outsourced security guard for approximately half a year and he comes from\nZhuhai. Living in a strange city himself, Zhou says he understands what it\nfeels like for the students to be far away from home, so he takes his patrol\njob seriously. \u2018I watch the students come in and out of the building every day,\nand I know almost all their faces,\u2019 Zhou says. \u2018When I see suspicious-looking\npeople trying to follow the students into the building, I would ask to see\ntheir identity to make sure they are really students. \u2019 Zhou says he plans to\nlearn some kungfu moves so he could\nbetter protect the students.\n\n\n\n<\/p>
