Two thieves, who posed as immigration officials to target foreign women, have been jailed for three years.
On Sunday, Daegu High Court confirmed the original verdict and sentenced the two men, in their 20s.
The men entered a house on Feb. 1 posing as immigration officials and threatened a woman into giving them her smartphone and jewelry.
They used the same method to commit five similar robberies.
The men targeted illegal immigrants thinking that the victims would not report what happened, the court heard.
Details of how they located the foreign women were not mentioned.
"The accused targeted foreigners who are vulnerable," the court said in a ruling statement. "There crime is serious in that they abused weak points, such as the status of illegal immigrants.
