[Reporter Li Lifa / Pingtung Report] The pickup truck of a man surnamed Xu was stolen, and was found more than 10 days later. The police found DNA from the work gloves left in the car, and traced the suspects who were suspected of stealing the car. Although Zhu Nan categorically denied the crime, the prosecution still charged him with the crime of theft. After the trial, the Pingtung District Court believed that Zhu Nan was a car thief based on the work gloves in the car. The evidence was too weak and he was acquitted. Appealable.

Xu Nan parked his pickup truck on the side of the road near his home. It was only three days later that he found that the car was gone. Because there were no surveillance cameras nearby, it was difficult for the police to find out the identity of the thief. Twelve days later, the stolen pickup truck was abandoned on the road. Next to it, there were scratches on the car body, and the roof spoiler was missing. The police found 2 work gloves in the car, and sent them to the forensics to find out the DNA. They followed the route and arrested the men surnamed Zhu involved in the case.

The men complained, emphasizing that he worked as an ironworker and put work gloves in the storage box under the keyhole of the motorcycle. Many friends would borrow cars from him. Because there were a lot of borrowers, he could not remember who borrowed motorcycles from him. , the gloves may have been lost during the borrowing process, and he definitely did not steal the car.

After investigation by the prosecution, it was found that the location of the gloves was not easily placed or touched by ordinary people from outside or on the side of the car. It can be seen that the person holding the gloves used and stole the car and placed it in the car. Public prosecution should be instituted according to law.

Pingtung District Court: Cannot be proved as a criminal tool for theft of vehicles

The Pingtung District Court believes that the glove whose DNA was detected can only prove the fact that Zhu Nan once held, used, or touched the glove, but it cannot prove that it is a criminal tool for stealing a vehicle, nor can it directly prove that Zhu Nan is the thief. The gloves were left in the car at the back of the car. The evidence presented by the prosecution could not make the judge guilty, so the men should be informed of their innocence.
