A police car enters an alley at an intersection in Suwon.
Police rushed to the scene after receiving a report from his father that a convenience store employee molested his elementary school daughter.
[Witness: I called a man from here, took him over there, talked for a while, and then got into the car.
I had a drink.
There was a girl and her father and two (at the scene)...

The suspect is Mr. A, a man in his 60s who runs a convenience store with his spouse.
The location of the crime was the warehouse inside the convenience store you see here.
He stopped by this convenience store to buy Pokemon Bread, which is popular among elementary school students these days.
The next day (20th) around 8 pm, the child asked if there was any Pokemon bread that was not on the shelf, and the investigation revealed that Mr. A lured the child to the warehouse to find the bread.
Person A, who was arrested by the police, was wearing an electronic anklet with a history of sexual offenses.
The police applied for an arrest warrant for A.
The convenience store headquarters said it could not confirm whether the store owner or employee had a criminal record, such as a sexual offense.
Franchisees, who are sole proprietors, are not able to intervene in hiring or managing employees because they have a horizontal relationship with the head office.
If you are convicted of a sexual offense punishable by a fine or more, you cannot find employment in educational institutions, sports facilities, or PC rooms related to children and youth, but convenience stores do not fall under this category.
