An unemployed 36-year-old Mongolian man, who has overstayed his visa here, was caught after stealing and driving cars while intoxicated, police said Wednesday.
According to Gimhae Western Police Station in South Gyeongsang Province, the illegal alien stole a Kia Avella left unattended in a parking lot with the keys inside and drove it out of the city.
But after a while, he lost control of the vehicle and ended up driving it into an agricultural waterway. The man then stole a Kia Sephia parked nearby but similarly drove the car into the same waterway.
He was caught wandering around the scene. At the time, his blood-alcohol concentration was 0.188 percent, far higher than the legal level to drive of 0.03 percent, a police officer said.
