Police have arrested a woman who pretended to be a storeowner and told a locksmith she needed emergency entry to the property.

The locksmith, surnamed Li, received a call on Thursday from a woman surnamed Liu, in Laiyang, Shandong Province. She claimed to have forgotten her keys but needed immediate access to the store.

Li opened the door for her in minutes but when he asked her to confirm her identity she became shifty. Li called the police, who arrested Liu.
