[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] A man in his 20s who threatened a store clerk with a weapon to steal money and valuables at a mart in Jeonnam was caught by the police.

The Jeonnam Police Agency announced on the 19th that they arrested Mr. A (in his 20s) on suspicion of attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon.
