40s Man Arrested and Sent to Prosecution for Stealing 6.8 Billion Won in Cash from Rented Warehouse: "I'm Sorry"

A man in his 40s who stole tens of billions of won in cash stored in a rental warehouse in Songpa-gu, Seoul, has been handed over to the prosecution.

The Songpa Police Station in Seoul sent Mr. A to prosecution on the morning of the 11th at around 7:40 a.m. on charges of nighttime trespassing theft, property damage, and obstruction of business. When asked by reporters, "What did you intend to do with the stolen money?" and "You involved your family in the crime; is there another accomplice?" Mr. A responded, "I'm sorry," before boarding the transport vehicle.

Mr. A is accused of stealing at least 4 billion won in cash from a rental warehouse in Songpa-gu, where he was in charge of management, between 7 p.m. on the 12th of last month and 1 a.m. the following day.

At the time of the crime, about 6.8 billion won worth of cash was stored in six suitcases in the warehouse. Mr. A removed the cash and replaced it with A4 paper, then moved the stolen money to another warehouse within the company before transferring it to a building managed by an acquaintance of his mother. The police have seized all 4.017 billion won in cash that Mr. A possessed and are currently determining the exact scale of the damage.

The victim reported the theft to the police after asking an acquaintance, Mr. B, to bring the suitcase and discovering the cash was missing. It is known that a note was found inside the suitcase along with A4 paper, stating, "Even if you know who I am, pretend you don't. Then I won't say anything either." The police have also booked Mr. B on theft charges and are investigating whether he is an accomplice.
