Police have arrested a man for allegedly drugging a Uzbekistani women and dragging her to a Busan motel to rob her.

Police said that on Sept 13, the man, surnamed Kang, 35, approached the victim at a bus station in Oncheon-dong. He had a vending machine coffee that contained zolpidem, a sedative primarily used for insomnia.

He introduced himself to the woman as a Japanese living in Korea. Kang told police he talked with her for about an hour before giving her the coffee. After the woman fell asleep, he dragged her to a nearby hotel and stole her belongings, including a gold bracelet, police said.

Kang also allegedly stole about 10 million won ($9,060) from 12 other victims using a similar method.

Funny how these Korean crooks claim to be foreigners. It’s like they want to feed the myth of foreigners are bad.

I wonder what a Korean man dragging an unconscious Uzbekistan woman from a bus station to a motel looks like.

Sure, I have been everywhere, done everything, and seen it all… but… ya know… that still might get my attention.

Who accepts an offer to drink coffee that’s been held for a hour? 😕
