Burglar Caught Again by the Same Police Officer After 6 Years

A burglar who committed a break-in during the Lunar New Year holiday was caught and arrested by the same police officer for the same charge after 6 years.

On the 19th, Ulsan Nambu Police Station announced that they had arrested a man in his 40s, identified as A, on charges of theft (violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes).

A is accused of climbing into the second floor of a house in Nam-gu, Ulsan, via a gas pipe around 10 p.m. on the 11th, stealing jewelry and cash worth 1.2 million won.

According to the police, A targeted houses with the lights off during the Lunar New Year holiday night. While checking CCTV footage around the scene, the detective team realized that the burglar resembled the same house burglar they had arrested and detained 6 years ago, and they began tracking him.

The police tracked the transportation used by the suspect and arrested A after staking out for two days. A police officer said, "The moment we caught him, A immediately recognized us and admitted to the crime."

A had served time for similar crimes and was released in September last year but was arrested and detained again this time.
