Fongshan District

Apparently, not even donation boxes are safe from petty crime, even at a religious site.

A four-faced Buddha shrine in Kaohsiung's Fengshan district was recently targeted by a thief who pretended to be a worshipper.

The man went into the shrine-lit incense and pretended to pray while scouting the site.

Then he pried the box open and made off with more than 10,000 NT dollars in donations.

Shen told supporters there is still a long road ahead, while Jiang said he would not define his campaign by a single set of numbers.

Next in crime news, Chang Tu-huo, seventy-three, the former chairman of the Taiwan Screw Industry Association and a prominent figure in Kaohsiung's screw fastener industry, was struck and killed by a small truck while walking in the city's Fengshan District on Tuesday.

He headed the fastener maker An Tu-o Industry.

Authorities say he died at the scene, and police are investigating the driver on suspicion of negligent homicide.

Through interagency cooperation and technical exchanges, maritime security monitoring and disaster response capabilities are being enhanced, adding another layer of protection to Taiwan's maritime security.

A sudden underground explosion sent a manhole cover flying into the air on Tuesday morning in Kaohsiung's Fengshan District.

It all happened without warning.

Locals report being scared witless as a deafening explosion echoed around the neighborhood and the area filled with smoke.
