The suspect was booked without detention Monday for allegedly threatening an employee and stealing 700,000 won ($650) in cash.



The alleged thief reportedly frightened the employee and took the cash after eating the ramen in the store, a representative from Busan Jin Police Station said. Police were then able to track him down from the fingerprints on the food container.
