Theft Crimes Increase by 26% in One Year
Authorities Respond to Changing Security Environment

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The Gangnam and Suseo Police Stations in Seoul are joining forces with SK Shieldus to prevent crimes at unmanned stores.

On the 24th, the Gangnam Police Station announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Suseo Police Station and SK Shieldus to address this issue. This move is in response to the recent sharp increase in theft crimes targeting unmanned stores. According to statistics from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, the number of unmanned stores in Seoul has increased by 26% over the past year.

Under the agreement, SK Shieldus will share information with the police regarding the status of unmanned stores, the number of stores with quarterly alarm occurrences, and the counts of real and false alarms. Additionally, SK Shieldus will promptly notify the police of any information obtained when a crime occurs at an unmanned store.

Based on the information provided by SK Shieldus, the police will diagnose the crime vulnerabilities of the relevant unmanned stores and recommend that store owners enhance their crime prevention facilities.

Regarding this, Lee Won-il, Chief of the Gangnam Police Station, stated, "With the rapid increase of unmanned stores due to the spread of non-face-to-face culture caused by COVID-19, related organizations plan to work together to prevent crimes in step with the changing security environment."
