Australians Come to South Korea to Graffiti Subway Cars

It is too bad these idiots won’t face punishment in South Korea for this.  The Korean government says they are not going to request extradition because property crimes don’t warrant it.  Regardless what a disgrace:

On Feb. 2, four Australians in baseball caps and hoodies appeared around Wangsimni Station, eastern Seoul, at three in the morning. They carefully scoped out the area and then stopped in front of a ventilation window behind a bus stop. They cut the bars of the window and swung down to a temporary garage where a car for the Line No. 5 subway was idle.

Using spraypaint, they covered the car with graffiti art and then moved on.

Two days later, they penetrated Anam Station, northeastern Seoul, and left graffiti that read “FEDUP” in giant letters on a subway train. The following day, the four men did the same thing at the Sinnonhyeon Station on Feb. 5, leaving the declaration “ERROR” on a Line No. 9 train.

It was only after they flew back to their home country on Feb. 7 that the police identified the four Australians with security camera footage. They matched their faces on security footage from the airport and then checked immigration records.

The four men were found to have spent 10 days in Korea – dedicating at least three of those nights to spraypainting Seoul subway cars.

“We don’t understand how foreigners who never traveled to Korea before knew so expertly the subway stations’ structures,” said Shim Mun-sik, chief of a crime investigation department of the Seongdong Police Precinct.  [Joong Ang Ilbo]
