Police apprehended a fugitive attempting ID renewal in southern China.

The CCTV footage was filmed in Taizhou City in Zhejiang Province on May 6.

An online fugitive appeared at the Tian'e County Government Service Centre, seeking to renew his identity card. The vigilant police officers at the window immediately recognised his identity and swiftly devised a clever plan to ensure his capture.

Huang Zizhen, Deputy Captain of the Household Registration Management Brigade of Tian'e County Public Security Bureau, explained: "Huang came to the police window claiming his ID card was lost and requested a replacement. Auxiliary police officer Wei Qiaohui noticed something unusual during the processing and promptly reported Huang's situation to me."

To avoid alerting the fugitive, auxiliary police officer Wei cited a problem with the household registration system and requested Deputy Captain Huang's assistance in resolving the "malfunction," buying more time for the apprehending officers.

Simultaneously, Wei reported Huang's information to the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the bureau for further verification.

In less than 10 minutes, two officers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade arrived at the scene and successfully apprehended Huang, escorting him for further investigation.

Upon investigation, it was revealed that Huang was wanted by the police, for suspected involvement in the production and sale of counterfeit products since January this year.

Currently, the suspect Huang has been temporarily detained by the police.

5月6日，广西河池，一名网上在逃人员出现在了天峨县政务服务中心，想要补办身份证。窗口值班民警火眼金睛，一眼认出其身份，当即巧妙设计，让这名逃犯乖乖落网。
天峨县公安局户政管理大队副大队长 黄子珍介绍：黄某来到公安窗口，说自己身份证遗失，要求补办，辅警韦乔慧在受理过程中发现异常，立即暗中向我汇报了黄某的相关情况。
为不打草惊蛇，辅警韦乔慧以户籍系统出现问题为由，一边让黄副大队长帮助处理“故障”，以便为抓捕民警赢取更多时间，一边将黄某的信息上报该局刑事侦查大队进一步核查。
不到十分钟，刑事侦查大队两名民警赶到现场，成功将黄某控制并带离调查。经查，黄某因涉嫌生产、销售伪劣产品于今年1月被浙江省台州市警方列为网上在逃人员。目前，犯罪嫌疑人黄某已被天峨警方临时羁押。
