Around the nation: Man wakes from coma after nurse waves 100 yuan in his face

Three men stole 240 iPhone 6s from a warehouse in Haidian district by digging a hole through the wall, The Beijing News reports. One of the suspects had been a driver for a logistics company and was familiar with the warehouse and knew it was not guarded at night. The three broke into the building on December 13 and later sold the phones for 1.34 million yuan (HK$1.7 million), which they spent on cars, gold, gambling and paying debts. They were later arrested.
