Two men have been arrested after allegedly stealing 4.2 kilograms of gold jewelry worth about 1.4 million yuan (200,000 U.S. dollars), according to an announcement by police in northeast China's Liaoning Province Monday.

On Friday, the two suspects entered a jewelry store in Faku County, threatened five employees at gunpoint, smashed display cabinets, and made off with their haul on a red motorcycle.

"The whole robbery lasted less than two minutes," said Deng Wanhong, police deputy director in the provincial capital Shenyang.

Police arrested the two men on Sunday and Monday, and confiscated a gun, 34 bullets and all the stolen jewelry.

The two men confessed, and informed the police that they had met and bought the gun online.

The investigation continues. The two detainees both face being charged with armed robbery. Endi
