A woman in her twenties has been arrested for drugging men she met through marriage agencies and stealing millions of won from them.
The Uijeongbu Police Department announced on the 27th that they have detained the suspect, identified as A, on charges of robbery and violating drug control laws.
A is accused of drugging four men from December of last year to April of this year in the greater Seoul area, stealing approximately 48 million won (about $36,000).
She reportedly approached her victims through marriage agencies or introductions from acquaintances, built relationships while living with them, and then administered sleeping pills in their food or drinks to carry out her crimes.
Once the victims were unconscious, A used their mobile phones to transfer money to her account or purchase items worth millions of won.
In a related case, substances found in the urine of a suspect, identified as Kim So-young, who was convicted of murdering two men in a motel in Gangbuk District, were similar to those used in A's crimes.
During police questioning, A claimed she was prescribed sleeping pills for panic disorder and insisted that the men had taken the drugs voluntarily.
Police stated that there is no evidence suggesting A mimicked Kim So-young's crimes.
