Recently, the National Police Agency introduced the theft incident that occurred in the early morning of July 25 at a gold and silver shop in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, through their official Facebook page.

In the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage of the crime scene, a man in his 30s, identified as Mr. A, arrived on a motorcycle in front of the gold and silver shop. After looking around, he began breaking the store’s glass window with a hammer he had prepared.

Mr. A, who covered his face with a helmet, entered the shop and took several precious metals displayed in the store. Although a security smoke bomb installed by a private security company spread inside the shop, Mr. A ignored it and quickly fled after taking about 50 million won worth of precious metals.

Afterward, Mr. A escaped again on his motorcycle. To evade police pursuit, he showed meticulous behavior by abandoning the motorcycle by the roadside and even changing his clothes.

The police immediately launched an investigation after receiving the report. They tracked Mr. A’s escape route and arrested him 28 hours after the crime. Mr. A was booked on charges of special theft and detained. It was reported that the police recovered most of the stolen precious metals and returned them to the owner of the gold and silver shop.
