A man from northeast China has been arrested after stealing 80 fossilized dinosaur eggs.
Local police say the man, surnamed Wang, twice visited a dinosaur egg collector in eastern China's Zhejiang Province under the pretense of making a purchase.
With the help of three accomplices, he allegedly then stole 80 eggs on the evening of January 9 before fleeing to Shanghai. The group divided the eggs, with Wang taking 27 of them.
Learning that Wang had returned to his hometown in Heilongjiang Province on March 4, local police asked Wang's relatives to persuade him to turn himself in. Wang later gave himself up to police, who soon caught the other three suspects.
The case remains under investigation.
