A Man in His 30s Caught Stealing Valuables from a Drunken Friend Who Fell Asleep

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Dongbu Police Station in Gwangju announced on the 21st that they have arrested Jumo (30) on charges of theft for stealing precious metals while drinking at a friend's house.

Jumo is accused of stealing precious metals worth a total of 2.3 million KRW from the neck and fingers of his friend Park (30), who had fallen asleep, while drinking together at an apartment in Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, around 1 a.m. on December 1 last year.

Investigations revealed that Jumo stole the items to cover entertainment expenses and sold them to a gold and silver shop.

The gold and silver shop was confirmed to have followed proper purchase procedures, including ID verification, so Jumo was not charged with possession of stolen goods.

Considering that an arrest warrant for Jumo had already been issued on the 10th of last month on charges of special intimidation, the police plan to hand him over to the Gwangju District Prosecutors' Office and then send him for prosecution without detention.
