According to North Jeolla Wanju Police Station, the suspect is to be charged with theft, specifically stealing a 1-ton truck on Nov. 8. The truck is estimated to be worth 16 million won ($14,200).
The stolen vehicle was parked in an elementary school parking lot with its doors open and keys in the ignition. The man hopped into the driverless truck and immediately drove away.
After thorough analysis of security footage from nearby the parking lot, police were able to track the route the man took and booked him Monday.
During interrogation, he said he committed the theft because his “family lives in Jeongeup, but (he) lacked means of transportation to go see (his) family.”
