20-Year-Old Robber Pretending to Be Delivery Worker Arrested for Spraying Gas Gun During Break-In

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] A man in his 20s who allegedly disguised himself as a delivery courier to break into a victim's home and sprayed a gas gun, causing injury, has been arrested.

On the 4th, Judge Lee Se-chang, head of the detention division at the Seoul Central District Court, issued an arrest warrant for A (23), who is charged with robbery and injury, stating there is a risk of flight.

On the morning of the 2nd, A is accused of pressing the intercom at an apartment in Seocho-gu while posing as a delivery courier. When the victim opened the door, he allegedly fired the gas gun five times at the victim's face and body. When the victim fled to the bedroom, A reportedly threatened with a stun gun, inflicted injuries, and then escaped.

The police, who received the report, arrested A on the spot within about 10 minutes in the men's restroom on the first floor of the apartment's commercial area. Investigations revealed that A prepared the tools for the crime to cover living expenses and planned the crime by waiting around the area for three days prior.
