Police arrested the thief and seized 4 billion won after receiving a report that 6.8 billion won was stolen from a rental warehouse in downtown Seoul.

Police are also continuing to investigate the source of cash.

Let's connect with the reporter and hear more details. Reporter Lee Hyunjung!

Who and how did you steal a large amount of cash?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul began tracking down the criminal after receiving a report that 6.8 billion won in cash disappeared from a rental warehouse in Songpa-gu, Seoul, on the 27th of last month.

Five days after the report, a man in his 40s was arrested at around 6:50 p.m. on the 2nd in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do.Mr. A, the manager of the

warehouse, broke into the warehouse that customers were renting between 7:05 p.m. on the 12th of last month and 1:20 a.m. the next day and took out cash.

Mr. A kept cash somewhere else for a while and took it out of the building on the 15th of last month.

The police have seized KRW 4,017 billion so far, and are investigating the existence and location of additional damages.

In addition, two more people have been booked to investigate accomplices and additional crimes.

One of the two was known to the victim, and the other was found to have acted as a cash carrier.

However, the collected amount will be returned to the victim after investigating the source, including whether the crime is suspected.

Mr. A will be handed over to the prosecution in custody tomorrow.

I will tell you again as soon as I confirm the details of the incident.
