You can run, but you cannot hide — at least, not from a police drone.
Chinese police have arrested a man who was on the run for 17 years after he was spotted by a drone living in a cave in remote mountains, local officers told the state-run China News Service and reported by CNN.
Song Jiang, 63, escaped from a labor camp in southwestern China’s Sichuan province in 2002.
He was found living in a narrow cave near his hometown in Yongshan county, Yunnan, CNN reported.
Officers were reportedly given a tip about Song’s whereabouts in early September but struggled to search the area because of the difficult terrain.
They sent out a drone instead, and it spotted a blue-coloured steel tile on a steep cliff as well as traces of household rubbish nearby.
Three teams were deployed to locate the camp and Song was arrested, CNN reported.
According to the China News Service, Song had trouble answering police questions as he had not spoken to anyone for years.
Song was initially imprisoned for abducting and trafficking women and children, according to the local police source, who didn’t elaborate on the circumstances of his crime.
He has been sent back to jail, officials said.
Police did not provide any information on how the man survived so many years in a cave and what type of food he survived on.

Hey! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that would be ok.
I’m definitely enjoying your blog and look forward
to new updates.
I think this is one of the most significant information for me.
And i am glad reading your article. But want to
remark on few general things, The site style is perfect, the articles is really nice : D.
Good job, cheers
First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do
not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and
clear your mind before writing. I have had a hard time
clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out there.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are
usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Thank you!
Very nice article, just what I was looking for.
