Caught by Police, Released, and Back to Stealing: Teens Smash Kiosk with Hammer

Children presumed to be middle school students carried out a theft at an unmanned store in Gwangyang. Not only did they smash an unmanned payment kiosk with a hammer in an attempt to steal cash, but they also ate drinks and ice cream without paying.

They repeated their crimes at this store alone a staggering four times. They were caught by the police during their first crime, but were confirmed to be juveniles under the age of criminal responsibility, and it is reported that they went on to commit thefts yet again afterward.

It was also revealed that in late May, they stole 4 million won worth of Pokémon cards from another unmanned store. What is the reason behind the unending thefts by teenagers at unmanned stores that just keep repeating?
