Suspect's halitosis overpowers police

After a year on the run, Wang Ermao, a motorcycle thief, was arrested by police in a mountainous area of Xingtai county, Hebei Province. While on the run Wang hadn't brushed teeth for a year and his foul breath made the police feel sick, the Yanzhao Metropolis Daily reported.

The mountain where Wang hid is covered with plants which caused difficulties in making the arrest. The police captured Wang on his way down the mountain to have lunch.

According to police, Wang was with another two men engaged in stealing a motorcycle. Two suspects have been detained but one remains at large.
