Two men wanted by Interpol have been arrested in South Korea and are pending extradition to China and the United States, respectively, police here said Wednesday.

A 35-year-old Chinese man, identified only by the Korean version of his last name, Ju, was arrested on Feb. 10 in a Seoul suburb on theft charges, the Foreign Affairs Division of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said in a briefing.

The man is accused of stealing 121 motorcycles worth 700,000 yuan ($112,000) with two accomplices across China in 2005.

Police believe Ju fled to South Korea in 2007 and had been selling cell phones in the Seoul metropolitan area for a living.

An Interpol Red Notice, or an international arrest warrant, had been in place for the man since January 2014. He is now in the custody of Seoul Immigration Office to face extradition to China.

Police also said a 48-year-old South Korean man, identified only by his surname Lee, has been apprehended on charges of attempted fraud.

Lee allegedly connived with accomplices in the U.S. to supply nine pieces of South Korea-made wastewater disposal equipment with fabricated certificates to six U.S. local governments. The scheme lasted for more than a year from January 2010, police said.

Lee will be surrendered to the U.S. pending the issuance of an extradition warrant, police added. (Yonhap)
