The 28-year-old surnamed Lee used a chatting application to connect with dates. After meeting them in person, he drugged them with sleeping pills and stole their phones, clothes and wallet. The items he stole from two men in one night were worth 2.4 million won ($2,100). He committed the crimes at a three-hour interval.

Northern Busan police said they are going through Lee’s cell phone to determine whether he committed other similar crimes.
