A teenage girl was booked without detention on charges of damaging and stealing her ex-boyfriend’s belongings at his home, according to the Busan Jungbu police on Monday. 

The police said the 19-year-old surnamed Park had entered her ex-boyfriend’s house with an excuse to his parents that she had “come for her things” on April 25. The former boyfriend, 21, was not at home.

Park is accused of stealing his watch and other belongings worth a total 2.1 million won ($1,800).

Two days later, she allegedly used the same method to re-enter and cut up 1 million won of the man’s clothes -- two coats, three jackets and dress shirts -- with scissors.

Park told the police she had been angry at the ex-boyfriend for ignoring her calls after ending their 1-year relationship four months ago.

Park was booked without detention on May 6.
