Police Discover While Checking Lost Property Bag

A wanted criminal who committed a fraud worth around 2 billion won voluntarily walked into a police station and was arrested. It was investigated that he came to find a lost bag.

On the 19th, SBS reported that on the 4th, a wanted criminal, Mr. A, was caught at the Traffic Center of Mapo Police Station in Seoul. Mr. A was the head of a pseudo-investment advisory firm, known as an 'investment leading room,' operating in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do, and had caused damages of about 2.2 billion won to approximately 50 people.

He was on the run around Seoul after failing to appear at the court warrant hearing. The police had issued an arrest warrant for Mr. A and had him wanted.

Mr. A, who was fleeing, unexpectedly came to the Seoul police station on his own to find a lost item. On the day of his arrest, a document bag containing a mobile phone and wallet was reported as lost at the Traffic Information Center of Mapo Police Station.

When the police checked the bag, the mobile phone had no SIM card, and several credit cards with different names, a hotel key, and identification cards were found. Suspicious, the police checked the identity of the owner and found that he was Mr. A, who had been wanted three days earlier. The police immediately arrested Mr. A.

The released closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage shows Mr. A lingering in front of the door of the police traffic information center, then entering and sitting down. Meanwhile, a police officer makes a phone call somewhere, and other officers rush in and handcuff Mr. A. After being taken into custody, Mr. A was transferred from the Seoul Western District Prosecutors' Office to the Jeonju District Prosecutors' Office and is currently indicted.
