The Incheon Michuhol Police Station announced yesterday (16th) that they are investigating and arresting two middle school students, including A (14), on charges of special robbery.
According to the police, Army A and others lured female clerk B in her 20s out of the counter at a convenience store in Michuhol-gu, Incheon around 5:55 pm that day, pretending to ask for the location of a specific product.
They then strangled Mr. B with their hands to subdue him and stole about 200,000 won in cash from the counter.
Among the two students, group A was caught by a citizen who witnessed the crime inside a convenience store.
Another middle school student fled immediately after the crime, but was arrested in about 30 minutes after being pursued by the police who arrived after receiving the report.
