Man Pretends to Help Fallen Pedestrian, Steals Wallet: The Surprising Twist

A man who pretended to help a drunk pedestrian only to quietly steal his wallet has been caught by police.

To make matters worse, the suspect even posted the stolen wallet on a secondhand trading website.

The incident occurred in an alley in Seo-gu, Daejeon, in the early hours of June 27.

A man was lying on the side of the road when a passing motorcycle stopped and helped him up.

The rider called out, "Excuse me," handed him some water, and then left.

Just when it seemed like an act of kindness, the victim reported to the police the next day that his belongings had been listed on a secondhand trading website.

It turned out that the motorcycle rider had approached him under the guise of supporting him to steal his wallet, and then put it up for sale online.

Police disguised themselves as buyers, went to the scene, and urgently arrested the motorcycle rider.

After completing the investigation, police forwarded the suspect to the prosecutors without detention on charges of theft.
