We reported yesterday (1st) that teenagers who had a hit-and-run accident after stealing a car two years ago are committing a crime again recently.

Now that they are old enough to face criminal charges, they were arrested last night.

As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that they drove a car without a license while traveling around the country even before being arrested.



Reporter Park Se-won reported.

In March 2020, while driving without a license from Seoul to Daejeon in a stolen car, three people, including Mo, killed a college freshman by hitting a delivery motorcycle.

Those who came out of the juvenile detention center at the end of last year were arrested last night on charges of gang assaulting middle school students younger than them and extorting money from them in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.



He was a juvenile under the age of 14 at the time of the hit-and-run accident, but over two years passed, and he could not avoid criminal punishment this time.



The police are also conducting an investigation without detaining two people of the same age who took part in the assault with them.



As a result of SBS coverage, it was also revealed that they were driving without a license in Seoul and Gangneung before the day before their arrest.



On the 25th of last month, the 16-year-old Ms. A, who accompanied them, borrowed a car from a rental car company in Mapo-gu, Seoul with someone else's driver's license born in 1993.

The company sent its employees to Yangyang, Gangwon-do, which was confirmed as the last location after they did not pay and received no contact from the 30th of last month.



It was Lee Mo-kun who drove the car back to the dormitory around 5 in the morning the other day.

The staff confirmed that all five people, including Lee, were underage, and reported it to the police.



The military and others also made a riot by protesting the dispatched police officers.

After confirming additional victims of assault and extortion by the arrested Lee, the police will also apply the charge of driving without a license and send the case to the prosecution soon.
