Chinese police say they have tracked down a fugitive criminal after 17 years, finding his cave hideout with the assistance of a drone.
In a post on their WeChat account, local police in the south-western province of Yunnan identified the man as Moujiang Song.
Back in March 2002, Song escaped a prison camp in neighbouring Sichuan province, Yongshan police explained.
The 63-year-old had been prosecuted for the abduction and trafficking of women and children.
Yongshan police said they tracked him to mountains close to his hometown, having received clues about Song's whereabouts earlier this month.
Due to the difficulty of the terrain they employed several drones in their search for the runaway, whose location was identified on September 19.
A group of plain-clothed police moved in to arrest him, finding Song unkempt and emaciated in a cave less than 2 square metres in size..
He was unable to communicate clearly with the officers, police said.
Yongshan police added that Song's hair had turned grey after 17 years on the run, noting that he would "pay for his crimes".
