Police Searching for Suspects Who Stole 5 Used Cars for Export in Gimpo; All Vehicles Recovered

Police have been tracking a group of suspects for a month after they stole five vehicles from a used car export company's parking lot.

According to the Gimpo Police Station in Gyeonggi Province on Monday (June 15), a report was filed last month on May 12 stating that five vehicles awaiting export had been stolen from a used car export company parking lot in Gimpo during the early morning hours.

At the time, the parking lot's closed-circuit television (CCTV) captured five individuals, believed to be men, driving away with the five vehicles one after another in just over 10 minutes.

Investigations revealed that they damaged the lock at the parking lot entrance and selected and drove off with newer vehicle models.

They used the keys that were inside the vehicles, and the total damage is estimated to be worth approximately 270 million won.

Police have recovered all five vehicles, which the suspects had hidden along roadsides in the Gyeonggi region.

A police official stated, "We tracked the movement of the stolen vehicles and discovered them hidden along rural roads where there were no CCTV cameras," adding, "We are continuing to pursue the suspects."
