He robbed a high-end housing complex in Bundang of 1.26 billion won...Robbery of two, at least 38 cases in 4 years (Smoking Gun)



We will dig into the robbery of the duo who have spent a whopping 1.26 billion won over four years in a luxury housing complex.

On KBS2 'Smoking Gun', which will be broadcast on the 18th, 'Country House serial theft' will be broadcasted.

In the summer of 2011, two robbers broke into a luxury residential complex near Seoul. Then, similar methods and descriptions took place in nearby areas such as Yongin and Bundang, and as a result of the confirmation, they committed at least 38 crimes over the past four years and the amount of damage amounted to 1.26 billion won. They committed a series of thefts thoroughly enough to leave no evidence, such as fingerprints or footprints, on the scene.




Starting with Gyeonggi-do, detectives from all over the country jumped into the investigation by collecting cases that appeared to be similar methods such as Busan, Jinju, Ulju, and Yangsan. There were several witnesses and CCTV footage of them, but no clues were found to identify the culprit.

However, a new phase began to unfold in 2015 when a detective from the Gwangjin Police Station in Seoul took over the case. While looking at the case records one by one again, I caught one unclear part. And as we persistently follow the evidence, the identity of the trio begins to emerge slowly. Lee Ji-hye lamented that `Even if there are people in the daytime, the serial robbery that broke in and extorted money is almost a professional skill' and `It's like watching the thief version, the master of life.' Ahn Hyun-mo said "The eyes of the detective in charge, who persistently tracked every clue that could be seen, were the true smoking gun of solving the case," he exclaimed.

In the broadcast, Detective Kwon Geun-won (former head of Gwangjin Police Station), who arrested the true culprit of the case that remained unsolved for four years, vividly conveys the investigation process and tense arrest of the three-member criminal, and analyzes the unusual methods of the criminals who have been hidden for four years by Bang Won-woo profiler.
