Middle school students who drove more than 80km after stealing a car were caught by the police.

They have committed similar crimes more than 40 times over the past 40 times by taking advantage of the fact that even if they commit a crime, they are not punished if they are young, but it was revealed that they stole a car again without realizing that such an age had passed.



More details will be provided by KBC reporter Seo-young Kim.

I got into the van with the car key inside the car, started the engine, and smoothly exited the apartment parking lot.



[Witness: There was a police car coming and saying that someone took the car away.]



They drove 80 km to Mokpo without a license and were caught at a hotel in Mokpo.



The people who stole a car and ran away were middle school students who had committed similar crimes about 40 times in the past.



Every time he was caught, he was just released because he was a law enforcement boy, and then he committed the same crime again.



However, at the age of 14, he fell out of the scope of a juvenile delinquent, and he committed a crime without even thinking about it, and was eventually punished.



[Police official: About 40 cases like that (I committed a crime.) Before, when I was a young boy.

Since they are 14 years old, they have been subject to (a target of punishment) from this year.] The



police are investigating whether there are any other crimes against them.
