Waiting for love

Chinese Police waited outside a suspect’s house for two days to avoid interrupting his wedding.

Offices arrived at the house of a wanted criminal’s girlfriend’s house only to find that they had stumbled upon his wedding to his heavily pregnant fiancé, reports the West China City Daily.

Police said they decided to wait to arrest the suspect until after the wedding was over, in order to avoid embarrassing the bride’s family. After the wedding celebrations were over, the police decided to let the newly wedded couple enjoy their first night of wedded bliss, before arresting the suspect, who was wanted over robbing a nightclub two years previously.

“When we broke in the next morning, the suspect was still asleep,” said Guo Feng, director of Shuanggui Police Station,“The bride said she never knew her groom was wanted by the police, but “it’s too late to learn the news now”.
