What was shocking was A's actions.

He arrived at his workplace, the NH bank, at around 8:10 AM, approximately four hours after the crime, without any change in his routine.

Through analyzing the apartment's CCTV, the police confirmed that the suspect was an employee of the NH bank and swiftly arrested A, who was working at the counter.

During the arrest, gold valued at approximately 70 don was found in A's bag, and the stolen 20 million won was reportedly deposited into his own bank account.

The victims, the B couple, are known to be important customers of the local NH bank, and it has been reported that they withdrew approximately 300 million won earlier this month.

A police official stated, "It is clear that A needed money, but the specific motive requires further investigation," and added, "We are currently reviewing relevant documents, including financial transactions."

It has been reported that A has debts requiring him to repay millions of won each month.

The police plan to continue supplementary investigations to determine the exact scale and circumstances of his debts, as well as any pressure relating to debt collection.
