[Asia Economy Reporter Intern Lee Gyehwa] Three teenagers attempting to steal valuables from vehicles in an apartment underground parking lot were arrested by the police.

On the 31st of last month, the Yeonsu Police Station in Incheon announced that three teenagers, including A (16), were booked without detention on charges of attempted special theft.

At around 3:30 a.m. that day, A and the others are suspected of breaking into car doors and attempting to steal valuables in the underground parking lot of an apartment in Songdo International City, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon.

It was found that A and the others mainly targeted vehicles whose side mirrors were not folded, pulling the door handles to check if the doors would open.

They are known to be seniors and juniors in the neighborhood and, having heard that there are many expensive passenger cars in Songdo International City, traveled from Seo-gu, Incheon to commit the crime to earn pocket money.

The police responded to a 112 report about suspicious people wandering in the underground parking lot and arrested them hiding in the apartment community center.

A and the others searched inside several vehicles but failed to find valuables, resulting in an attempted theft.
