Criminal caught by computer game

Chang Hsi-ming, was wanted for murder, illegal possession of weapons and multiple kidnappings and coppers have been tracking him for about a year.

But the task became easier when the police learnt 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.

Even then, Chang, who is dubbed the Evil Dragon by the local press, decided to go out in the style of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Unfortunately, it is not ‘game over', according to the Taiwanese Evening papers, although Chang was shot in the chest and shoulder he appears to have survived and is now in hospital.
