[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A man in his 50s who stole valuables after finding out the password using a miniature closed-circuit television (CCTV) secretly installed opposite the entrance of a villa has been handed over to the prosecution.

On the 11th, the Michuhol Police Station in Incheon announced that they had arrested Mr. A, in his 50s, on charges of trespassing and theft, and recently sent him to the prosecution.

Mr. A is accused of breaking into villas in the Michuhol-gu area of Incheon twice from early May to early last month and stealing valuables worth about 1 million won, including cash and gold rings. He purchased seven miniature CCTVs online and alternately installed them in a total of 56 households. It is understood that he watched the recorded footage and found out the passwords of some households to break in.

The crime was uncovered when a homeowner who was inside the house at the time saw Mr. A entering after entering the password and reported it to the police. Another resident also discovered the CCTV installed around the front door and informed the police.

Responding to the report, the police launched an investigation and urgently arrested Mr. A near his residence. It is known that Mr. A was still carrying the CCTV and the stand used in the crime at the time of arrest.

During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly stated that he committed the crime due to financial difficulties.
