Provide daily necessities to those who have difficulty making a living by stealing instant rice... Selected as an excellent police case

The National Police Agency announced on the 3rd that it selected 9 excellent cases that lowered the level of punishment and supported the suspect's return to society among the cases reviewed by the Minor Crime Review Committee in the third quarter of this year.

Seoul Dongjak Police Station sent the suspect who stole 21,000 won worth of instant rice to summary judgment after reviewing the case because he was having difficulty making a living due to losing his job and filing for bankruptcy.

The fact that the damage was recovered and the victim did not want to be punished was also taken into consideration, and a suspended sentence was ultimately issued.

The police also provided daily necessities in conjunction with the Ministry of Health and Welfare's 'Just Dream' project.

The Naju Police Station in South Jeolla Province disciplined people with developmental disabilities who were reported staying in a youth training center warehouse and provided welfare support such as day care services.

We took into account the fact that his father, the only guardian, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, making it difficult to protect him.

As of September this year, the number of cases referred to minor crime review was 13,425, an increase of approximately 63% compared to the same period last year.

Acting Police Commissioner Kim Jong-cheol said, "We will implement fair and warm law enforcement that meets the public's expectations for minor crimes that require guidance and support rather than punishment."
