A group has been apprehended by police for using a chatting application to lure a man in his 40s and steal cash from him.

The Incheon Gyeyang Police Station announced today (October 27) that they have arrested and are investigating six individuals in their teens and 20s, including a female surnamed A, on joint extortion charges under the Act on the Punishment of Violences, etc.

They are accused of threatening a man in his 40s, surnamed B, at a villa in Gyeyang-gu, Incheon, at around 10:30 PM the previous day and robbing him of 1.6 million won in cash.
