The government of Mishan City said the police received a call from a local bank at 1:16 a.m. Monday. A dead bank guard surnamed Wang and a large sum of cash totalling 3.04 million yuan (440,000 U.S. dollars) were found at the scene.

The cctv footage showed a man in a camouflage coat attempting to take cash out of the vault. The suspect fled when the security guard reacted, abandoning the cash.

The suspect, surnamed Du, and his partner surnamed Zhang were arrested Tuesday. Both confessed their crimes to the police.

The case is under further proceedings.
