Criminal Caught Gaming

Posted on July 17, 2005

A heavily armed kidnapper and murderer known as "Evil Dragon" was caught in Taiwan when police tracked him when he logged in to play an online game. The criminals real name is Chang Hsi-ming and he is wanted for a number of crimes, including murder and kidnapping. TheInquirer.net reports that the police were able to find him using the IP address he was logged in from.

But the task became easier when the police learned that he had a passion for online gaming. They sniffed out his online persona, and tracked his IP address.
We don't know which game he was playing, but when police knocked on his door for a quiet word, they brought nearly 130 colleagues and two tanks.

The Taipei Times has more on this story. Apparently, Evil Dragon went down fighting and was shot in the chest and shoulder and is currently recovering in the hospital.
