Show me the supyo!

The second of today’s translated criminal tales has an interesting twist — the reporter doesn’t tell you why it’s a crime! For all we know, this poor Ms. Kim is facing the big house for using her own legal checks. We’re sure it’s just an oversight on the newspaper’s part.

On the 25th Busan police issued an arrest warrant for a Ms. Kim (43) on charges of robbing handbag shops and convenience stores by using the technique of buying things, handing over a supyo, receiving her change and leaving.

It is suspected that on the 28th of last month at 3 pm Ms. Kim, after selecting a bag worth 200,000 won, said “Since I only have a supyo worth 500,000 won just give me the difference in change and the receipt”, lulling the clerk and making off with the receipt and change.

The investigated Ms. Kim is also under suspicion of using a similar technique in the Gyeongnam district 35 times in 10 months, stealing a total of 11,300,000 won.
