TAIPEI -- Taiwanese police have identified a burglary suspect, who recently stole cash from the ruling party's headquarters in Taipei, as a South Korean man and put him on their wanted list, a local news agency said Saturday.

According to the Central News Agency, a special investigation team under the Criminal Investigation Bureau was tracking the South Korean suspect, known as Cho, after a security camera video showed that he sneaked into the eighth floor of the headquarters of the Democratic Progressive Party early Wednesday morning.

Following his intrusion that allegedly lasted 10 minutes in the video, cash of more than 90,000 Taiwan dollars ($2,980) disappeared from the office, though there was no destruction or loss of documents and equipment, CNA reported, citing party and police officials.

A Taiwanese newspaper also reported the case and quoted a police source as saying Cho arrived in Taiwan one day before his suspected burglary and stayed at a hotel near the Taipei 101 Tower.

The source told the newspaper Cho left Taiwan on Wednesday shortly after his suspected burglary but re-entered the country after having been denied entry into Japan. The source added that Cho is also wanted by the South Korean police for suspected burglary.
