It seems like the Hungry Ghost Festival brought out the inner trouble-making imp in a man who was arrested for several cases of cheating at auctions.
Police had received reports earlier this month about suspected cases of cheating at Lunar Seventh Month dinner auctions, where the 33-year-old suspect made high successful bids for items before making away with them. He took off with an estimated amount of $20,000 worth of auctioned items.
The man was eventually arrested on Monday, and will face charges for cheating today. If convicted, he could be imprisoned for up to 10 years and receive a fine as well.
