A man in his thirties was punished for breaking into his former office and stealing items, claiming he hadn’t received his wages.
On the 8th, Judge Kim Hyo-jin of the Gwangju District Court’s Criminal 5th Division announced a four-month prison sentence for Mr. A (37), who was indicted on charges of breaking into a building and theft.
Mr. A was charged with breaking into the entrance of his former office with a tool or opening the automatic door three times between February and March.
Claiming he hadn’t received his wages after resigning, Mr. A broke into his former office and stole items such as computers, keyboards, and mice.
In addition, he was also indicted for threatening the owner of a villa, who asked him to move out after his rental contract ended in March, by swinging a stick and saying, “I’ll kill you.”
The court ruled, “Even if there were wage default issues as the defendant claimed, breaking into a former office without permission and stealing items cannot be justified.”
During the investigation of this case, Mr. A faced separate trials for breaking into the office again and taking personal belongings, for which he was fined 500,000 won ($440).
