[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A customer who called a PC bang employee claiming the restroom toilet was clogged ended up stealing valuables from the counter and fleeing.


According to a video released on the official YouTube channel of the National Police Agency, 'Republic of Korea National Police Agency,' on the 27th, a theft incident occurred on the 1st at a PC bang in Seo-gu, Daejeon.


In the video, a man calls a PC bang employee at the counter, saying "the toilet is clogged," and they both leave the store together.


Afterward, the man returns to the store alone and runs to the counter. He pretends to be distracted when other customers appear, then quickly takes cash from the safe when no one is around.


The man is investigated to have stolen approximately 5.42 million won in cash through 17 similar incidents across the country.



The police arrested the man in Seoul while he was attempting additional crimes after a tracking investigation and are currently investigating him.
