Man Pretends to Help Fallen Pedestrian, Steals Wallet—And the Plot Twist

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

To top off the arrest, he actually listed the stolen wallet on a secondhand marketplace app.

This incident took place in an alley in Seo-gu, Daejeon, in the early hours of June 27.

A man is seen lying on the roadside when a passing motorcycle stops and helps him to his feet.

The rider even hands him water, saying, "Hey, are you okay?" before leaving the scene.

It seemed like a kind act at first, but the next day, the fallen man reported to the police that his own belongings were posted on a secondhand trading platform.

It turned out that the motorcycle rider had approached him under the guise of supporting him, stole his wallet, and then uploaded it to the secondhand market.

Police disguised themselves as potential buyers, went to the meeting spot, and emergency arrested the motorcycle rider.

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