I dare say the two mates have managed to spend a fair bit of their share of the USD already. A few quastions as to why old mate was carrying such a large sum (to me anyway) and was it all in his wallet? Did the crooks just get lucky?
Looks like the suspect also "resisted arrest".

A lot of Chinese carry pretty large wedges.

As to the perp and his 'minor injuries', when he's back at the station, I'm sure he will be coughing up his buddies and the whereabouts of the missing dough.

Good work the police
