Spotted in Black Raincoat... Eerie Scene Captured at Large Discount Store

A man wearing a black raincoat appears at a jewelry store inside a dark, closed large discount store.

After hesitating and looking around, as if making up his mind, he repeatedly strikes the glass display case with a blunt instrument.

Once the glass breaks with enough force to send shards flying everywhere, he scoops up all the jewelry inside and flees the scene.

The man in his 20s, who stole hundreds of millions of won worth of valuables from a jewelry store located inside a discount store and fled, was quickly caught by police before he could get far.

The Incheon Namdong Police Station has urgently arrested a man in his 20s, identified as A, on charges of nighttime burglary of a building and theft, and has applied for an arrest warrant.

Suspect A is accused of breaking into a jewelry store on the second floor of the Homeplus Ganseok branch in Namdong-gu, Incheon, at around 2:00 a.m. on the 14th (Monday), stealing 173 items of 14K and 18K gold bracelets worth 500 million won, and escaping in a taxi.

Upon receiving the report, police tracked him down and urgently arrested A on a street in Hwagok-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul, at around 2:40 p.m., just 12 hours later.

All of the stolen jewelry was recovered.

Although both the discount store and the jewelry shop had contracts with private security companies, they failed to stop A, who broke into the mart, carried out the crime, and fled.

According to police investigations into his recent movements, A broke into the interior through a window after looking around the area without conducting any prior reconnaissance of the crime scene.

Given that the target was a large discount store maintaining a relatively high level of security, police plan to investigate whether there was any internal accomplice.
