A 31-year-old man surnamed Jung was arrested Wednesday for hitting and robbing a woman he met on an arranged date.
South Gyeongsang Province’s Gimhae police said the man, who is unemployed, tricked a 25-year-old woman into thinking that he would pay for her escort services.
When they met at a motel in April, he assaulted the woman with a weapon and took 250,000 won ($210) in cash from her.
Jung allegedly used a similar method in March to steal 200,000 won from another woman, aged 30, at a motel in Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
The police warned that secretive dates could lead to violent crimes such as murder, abduction and robbery.
