Escaping down the exterior wall of a 10-meter-tall building.

A man who broke into an empty building in a redevelopment area to steal scrap metal managed to flee by sliding down electrical wires from a staggering height of 10 meters.

However, he was ultimately apprehended by the police.

The Ulsan Jungbu Police Station announced yesterday that it has booked a man in his 50s on charges of attempted theft.

He is accused of entering an abandoned building in a redevelopment zone in Jung-gu, Ulsan, on the night of July 28 and attempting to steal items such as boilers and pipes.

At the time, upon being caught by the management company while inside the building, he made his escape by grabbing onto electrical wiring from a height of 10 meters and climbing down the exterior wall to the ground.

Following the report, police searched the surrounding area and discovered a truck believed to have been driven by the man.

His identification card was found inside the vehicle.

Consequently, officers went to the man's home and were ultimately able to arrest him.

Police are currently investigating his motive and whether he has committed any additional crimes.
