On New Year’s Day, a report was received that 1.1 billion won in cash was stolen from an office in Gangnam, Seoul, and the police launched an investigation.
The suspects entered the office with the key card key and even knew the safe password, but the police have yet to confirm their identity.
Reporter Lee Mun-hyeon covered the story.
◀ Report ▶
Yesterday evening, around 7:30, a police car pulled into an alleyway in Gangnam, Seoul.
He was dispatched to the office on the 4th floor of a nearby building following receiving a report that cash had disappeared.
More than 1.1 billion won was lost, most of which were 50,000 won bills.
The victim was an office rented by two individuals to invest in coins and stocks.
This is where the theft took place.
On New Year’s Day, January 1, the suspects committed the crime on a day off from this office.
At the time of the theft, men and women were caught on CCTV in an alleyway near the office.
Both are wearing padded jumpers and hats and the woman has a bag on her back.
Police are looking at the man and woman as prime suspects.

(Did you submit all CCTV footage of the building to the police?)
“Yes. It’s a coin office…it’s the first time I’ve heard of the police, so I’m not sure.”
Another CCTV secured by the police also recorded the crime scenes of the suspects.
Two suspects, male and female, opened the office door with a card key, pressed the safe password, and took cash.
The suspects were wearing hats, so their faces might not be confirmed, and the victims also stated that they did not know who they were.
However, the police believe that the person may have something to do with the victims, as he was holding the key to the card and knew the password.
Police are currently tracking the suspects through victim statements and CCTV footage.
