[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] A part-time worker in his 20s working at a courier collection center was sentenced to prison after secretly stealing scheduled delivery items multiple times.

On the 29th, the Chuncheon District Court Criminal Division 3 (Presiding Judge Jeong Suyeong) announced that A (22), who was indicted on charges of theft, was sentenced to one year in prison.

The court stated the sentencing reasons, saying, "Considering the total damage amounting to about 23 million won, the fact that the victim did not forgive him, and taking into account his age and family environment."

A began stealing wireless earphones worth about 150,000 won on April 5 while working as a sorting part-timer at a courier collection center in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, and stole items worth about 1.1 million won in three incidents until April 22.

Afterward, A's crimes became increasingly bold. From the 25th of the same month, he secretly entered the collection center every night and tampered with courier items.

From then until September, A stole items worth a total of 22 million won over 20 incidents during five months. A's theft spree only stopped after being caught by a patrolling employee on September 22.
