A man in his 30s was caught by the police stealing cash from claw machines at a district in Gwangju.
Gwangju Dongbu Police Station said Wednesday they had booked the suspect without detention on theft charges.
The suspect, surnamed Yang, reportedly stole 800,000 won ($710) in cash in total from claw machines and photo booths.
Yang reportedly told investigators that he could unlock the machines with a master key he found on the street by chance. The police deemed his testimony to lack credibility, and embarked on further investigations to find out the actual process through which he acquired the key and broke into the machines.
