According to the Jeju Dongbu Police Station on the 24th, four people including a couple in their 70s were booked and are under investigation for special theft after stealing a wooden table installed in the central square shelter of Sinsan Park in Ildo-dong, Jeju City, at around 5:35 a.m. on the 10th.

It is known that on the afternoon of the 9th, as Typhoon 'Khanun' was approaching, residents who were enjoying playing baduk at the pavilion stacked the tables on top of each other and went home, after which the suspects took the table. The stolen table was an integrated type with chairs and table assembled together, approximately 1.5 meters in length and 1 meter in height.

Residents who noticed the disappearance of the table reported it to Jeju City, and the police identified the suspects by checking the vehicle number through closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage.

During the police investigation, the suspects stated, "While walking in Sinsan Park, we saw two large tables stacked in the central square and thought they were unused items," and said they placed the table at the residence of one of the four.

A police official said, "The stolen item found at the residence has been recovered," adding, "We are investigating the detailed circumstances of the incident."
