[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] Six middle school students were caught by the police on charges of stealing nine vehicles that were left unlocked with spare keys inside and engaging in reckless driving without a license.

On the 16th, KBS News reported that the six middle school students stole nine parked vehicles in apartment parking lots around Daejeon over a two-week period starting from the end of August.

According to KBS, after the police found the stolen vehicles in an underground parking lot of an apartment in Daejeon and conducted inquiries in the surrounding area, all six middle school students, including a boy identified as A, were arrested.

It was reported that they drove hundreds of kilometers without a license, traveling between Boryeong, Cheongju, and Daejeon in the stolen cars.

The targets of the crime were vehicles whose side mirrors were not folded and had smart spare keys left inside.

The police plan to apply charges of special theft against A and the other five and send them to the prosecution.
