An woman in her 80s who stole five red bean buns for her ailing husband will receive government support instead of facing criminal punishment, police said Monday. Officers at Goyang Police Station received a theft report at around 2 p.m. on April 2 involving an elderly woman who had taken five sweet red bean buns without paying. She was found to be a recipient of National Basic Livelihood Security benefits, a state welfare program that subsidizes living costs for low-income households.
