[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] A woman in her 50s who returned to the house where she committed a robbery six months after her release and stole items again was sentenced to prison.

On the 21st, the Ulsan District Court Criminal Division 2 (Judge Yoo Jung-woo) announced that A (53, female), who was indicted for trespassing and theft, was sentenced to 8 months in prison.

A was charged with breaking a window and secretly entering the two-story house of B in Dong-gu, Ulsan, last October, stealing a pair of women's boots worth about 50,000 won. A tried to run away with the stolen shoes but hid again in the boiler room of the house after seeing a nearby police officer, but was eventually discovered and caught.

According to the police investigation, A had also entered this house in 2017, committed a robbery, injured the resident, and was sentenced to 3 years and 6 months in prison. She returned to steal shoes just six months after her release.

During the trial, A claimed that she visited to apologize to the victim for the robbery incident.

The court stated the sentencing reason, saying, "A's method of crime is shocking and her claims are incomprehensible, making the crime serious," but also noted, "The sentence was decided considering that an agreement was reached with the victim."
