Vampire Arrested for Stealing & Drinking Blood

The first Asian vampire, and the first vampire to get caught on security cameras!
Unknown to his vampire senses, he was caught on security camera. When the staff noticed three vials of blood missing, they notified the cops who checked the footage, identified the guy and landed up at his house and arrested him.

No, he was not sleeping in his coffin. And they did not drive a stake through his heart. Sorry to disappoint you all.

This is the actual story reported by South China Morning Post in Hong Kong on September 15, 2007...........enjoy....

A man was arrested here for stealing and drinking blood samples from a hospital, police said Saturday.

The 29-year-old was reportedly caught on surveillance cameras in the early hours of Thursday as he stole three test tubes of blood from the Yan Chai Hospital laboratory.

He drank the vials and dumped the empty tubes in a rubbish bin in the hospital's lift lobby before fleeing.

He was later arrested at his home after staff at the hospital noticed the theft and reported it to police.

A police spokesperson said the man had gone to the hospital after hurting his leg while drunk.

While there he wandered to the emergency laboratory and leant over a counter to steal the blood, which had been drawn from a female patient for testing.

The hospital authority has already improved its blood collection procedures as a result of the incident, the South China Morning Post reported.
