A man who committed a theft at a restaurant in the early morning hours has been apprehended.
It turns out he was the perpetrator of a cold case from six years ago.
This footage is from a restaurant in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, taken last March.
A man holding an umbrella enters through the back door.
He looks around the shop, pulls out a pair of scissors in front of the cash register, and opens the safe.
He then stole 450,000 won and fled the scene.
Police analyzed CCTV footage to track the man's movements.
They discovered that the man had traveled toward Cheongnyangni.
After conducting stakeouts in the Cheongnyangni area, police spotted the man on a bus and placed him under emergency arrest.
Upon his arrest, it was revealed that he had stolen a total of 2.83 million won by targeting restaurants across Asan, South Chungcheong Province, and the Gyeonggi region.
He was also identified as the culprit behind a church donation box theft in Namyangju, which had remained a cold case for six years.
