Tianze Zhang Allegations

Zhang Arrested, Accused Of Kidnapping And Theft. “San Francisco police returned from Taiwan on Friday with Tianze Zhang — the 30-year-old fugitive, who is accused of kidnapping and stealing millions from local women — and was escorted to a county jail. KTVU reported that the fugitive, who is accused of tying a woman with duct tape inside her Bernal Heights home and stealing $3M from her more than two months ago, was escorted by San Francisco police officers and the FBI on his way to a county jail, where he’s currently booked on suspicion of “first-degree residential burglary, kidnapping for ransom, and criminal threats.”” [SFist]

Police Claim Zhang Tied Up Woman, Stole Money. “The harrowing episode began around 4 p.m. on March 16 when a woman was startled by the sound of an intruder insider her Bernal Heights home, authorities said. The woman, who was not identified, was confronted by a man wearing large ski goggles, a hood, gloves and other items obscuring his face and body. Footage from the victim’s doorbell camera shows the man before he broke into her home. Once inside, police say the intruder tied the woman up with duct tape and threatened to torture her with a knife. But rather than speaking, the then-unknown assailant pointed to instructions on an electronic tablet around his neck, police said.” [KTVU]
