When you open the iron door, the cloth storage box is stacked in layers.

When I removed the clothes inside, I got a bunch of 50,000 won cash.

This is about 4 billion won in cash stolen from a rental warehouse in Songpa-gu, Seoul last month.

On the 27th of last month, the police received a report that 6.8 billion won of cash stored in the warehouse had disappeared and launched an investigation.

The culprit caught five days after the report was A, the manager of a warehouse company.

Mr. A accidentally stated that he decided to commit the crime after learning that a large amount of cash was stored in the warehouse.

Between the evening of the 12th and the early morning of the 13th of last month, cash in the carrier was transferred to his bag, stored in another warehouse, and then put in a storage box on the 15th and took it out of the building.

At this time, it was also confirmed that the CCTV hard disk illuminating the warehouse and corridor was damaged.

Mr. A hid the stolen money in a building in Bucheon, Gyeonggi-do.

The police believe that A's mother helped in the process and are investigating it.

In addition, an acquaintance of the victim, who first confirmed that the money in the carrier was missing, was also booked for theft and is under investigation, but is said to deny the crime.

The police are investigating whether there is any additional damage and where the money came from.
