As the CCTV footage did not show the bracelet falling, which could have led the investigation into a quagmire, the police focused their attention on the person who bent down. They reasoned that if the bracelet had fallen, someone would have picked it up.
At 5 p.m., police were able to spot a suspicious man bending down on the street in front of a cafe.
In the video, the man got into his truck, which was parked nearby. When police identified the truck, they checked the storage compartment and found a diamond bracelet.
The man reportedly told police that he kept the bracelet because he “thought it was a toy.”
Police are investigating the man for possession of stolen property. A person is charged with possession of stolen property when they take something that has been spilled by someone else without reporting it.
According to the Lost Property Act, a person who acquires an item that has been lost by another person must promptly submit it to the police, and if no one returns it for six months, the person can acquire ownership. A person who embezzles a lost item without reporting it can be punished by imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to 3 million won under the Criminal Code’s embezzlement of occupied property.
