Cash Stolen from Parked Car, Police Officer Dismissed

A police officer who stole cash from a parked vehicle while intoxicated was dismissed.

On the 23rd, the Gwangju Gwangsan Police Station announced that they recently referred Lieutenant A, who received a suspended indictment from the prosecution on theft charges, to the disciplinary committee and decided on dismissal.

Disciplinary actions for police officers are divided into severe penalties such as dismissal, removal, demotion, suspension, and lighter penalties such as pay reduction and reprimand.

If dismissed, one cannot be appointed as a public official for three years. There are no disadvantages under the pension law.

If Lieutenant A disagrees with the dismissal, he can request an appeal review.

Lieutenant A was caught in the act on the morning of May 23 entering an unlocked vehicle in an apartment complex parking lot in Buk-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, stealing approximately 150,000 won in cash.

It was investigated that he committed this act while intoxicated on his day off.

Lieutenant A, who was handed over to the prosecution, received a suspended indictment, a disposition where the prosecutor does not bring the suspect to trial considering various circumstances.
