A homeless man told the police that he committed multiple robberies to get into jail, where he would be protected from the cold weather.
The man in his 50s told the Busan Yeonje Police that he robbed women on the streets with the intention of getting arrested and incarcerated.
He threatened women with weapons and robbed them near subway stations and on mountain trails. He is being investigated for the theft of a mobile phone, purses and 700,000 won ($620) in cash. Police caught him Tuesday.
Busan Yeonje Police plans to seek an arrest warrant for him.
