Suspected of Snatching Cash and Fleeing from Currency Exchange Office

On the 17th, the Yeongdeungpo Police Station in Seoul applied for an arrest warrant for Park Mo (32), a Chinese-Korean, on charges of snatching cash and fleeing from a currency exchange office.


Park is accused of threatening the owner with a weapon and stealing 1.79 million won in cash at the A currency exchange office in Daerim-dong, Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, at around 5:07 PM on the 15th (special robbery).


The police arrested Park and a Chinese national woman in her 20s, L, at a hotel in Yeongdeungpo-dong 3-ga at around 10:30 AM the previous day, about 18 hours after the incident. The police recovered 1 million won of the stolen amount. They stated that they spent 790,000 won on card payments and other expenses.



The police initially suspected that L was keeping watch in front of the currency exchange office. However, after analyzing closed-circuit television (CCTV), they determined that she did not participate in the crime. The police found that L used part of the stolen cash together with Park. They confirmed that L was illegally staying in the country and handed her over to the immigration office.
