A man in his 20s in China was found to have extorted money from more than 60 hotels using cockroaches and hair.

According to Chinese media such as Jimu News, Jang (21) was recently arrested by police on charges of intimidation and extortion.

According to the investigation, Jang threatened the hotel to report hygiene problems by leaving insects, hair, and dirt in his room.



A chain hotel in Linhai City said it had been extorted 400 yuan (about 78,000 won) for accommodation hygiene issues.

In fact, a survey of his belongings revealed dead cockroaches, cicadas, hair, used condoms, and 23 bundles of paper wrapped in dirt.



There was also a notebook that recorded accommodation, which had a list of more than 380 hotels since November 2023.

The words 'refund' and 'difference compensation' were marked in the hotel.



In response, the police confirmed the damage through on-site visits and phone calls to hotels in more than 20 regions in five regions, including Shanghai, Henan, and Jiangsu. As a result, Jang was found to have extorted a total of 38,000 yuan (about 7.36 million won) from 63 hotels. Police are investigating if there are any additional crimes.

Meanwhile, it is known that he has been living on tuition since taking a leave of absence from school without informing his family in September last year.
