Teens who lured a man in his 20s with a post disguised as a paid date, demanded money, and assaulted him have been arrested.
The Uijeongbu Police Station in Gyeonggi said on the 4th that arrest warrants were issued on the 3rd for four teens, including A, who are suspected of aggravated robbery.
A and others are suspected of assaulting C, a man in his 20s, and taking his cellphone on the street in Minrak-dong, Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi, at about 3:45 a.m. on the 1st.
They posted on a chat app to lure C, then B, a teen, got into his car and was talking with him when the waiting group swarmed the vehicle, it was found.
In particular, they demanded 10 million won from C, and when he refused, they dragged him out of the car, assaulted him, and took his cellphone, according to reports.
Police dispatched after a citizen who witnessed the scene reported it sequentially arrested five people, including the four who fled, such as A, and B, a teen.
Most of them are first- and second-year high school students, and it was found that they posed as adults on a chat app and posted bait for a paid date.
C also said in a police interview that he met her not knowing she was a minor because "B said she was an adult," according to reports.
Police also sought an arrest warrant for B, a teen, but it was rejected because B admitted to the charges, cooperated with the investigation, and had a fixed residence, making flight unlikely.
Police plan to refer the case to prosecutors after completing the investigation, including the specific sequence of the crime.
