[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Gun-chan] Two middle school students who drove without a license from Incheon to Goyang City, Gyeonggi Province, in a stolen car were caught by the police.

The Goyang Police Station in Gyeonggi announced on the 29th of last month that they have arrested and are investigating two second-year middle school students, including A (15), on charges of theft and violation of the Special Act on Traffic Accidents.

A and his group are suspected of stealing a passenger car in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, around 10 a.m. on the 27th, and driving it without a license for 30 to 40 km to Deogyang-gu, Goyang City.

According to the police, they tried to use someone else's credit card at a store to buy food. The store owner, suspicious of their actions, reported the vehicle's license plate number to the police, which led to their capture.

Upon receiving the report, the police tracked the location of the stolen vehicle and arrested A and his group around 1 p.m. the same day as they were returning to the car in an apartment complex in Deogyang-gu. During the arrest, they attempted to flee by car, crashing into a parking lot wall, and struck a police officer's face with an elbow while being apprehended.

Police investigation confirmed that all members of A's group are juvenile offenders under the age of 14, who are not subject to criminal punishment.

The police plan to take protective measures after completing the investigation of the suspects.
