South Korean gets plastic surgery ahead of robbery spree：police 警方：一名南韓人瘋狂搶劫前先做整型手術
Police in South Korea say a man who was jailed for theft a decade ago had plastic surgery to obscure his identity and embark on a nine-month robbery spree beginning last April that netted cash and goods worth more than $479,000.
南韓警方說，一名10年前因偷竊而坐牢的男子，做了整型手術以隱藏他的身分及從事一件始於去年4月、取得價逾47萬9000美元現金及商品的9個月瘋狂搶案。
The 35-year-old-man was arrested on March 23 for 87 cases of robbery across the country, a police officer in the city of Incheon said by telephone.
仁川市一名警官透過電話說，該名在全國犯下87起強盜案的35歲男子於3月23日被捕。
The police officer said the suspect, who had been jailed for robbery in 2005, underwent surgery to alter the structure of his jaw and also procedures to stretch his limbs to gain height.
該警官說，這名過去因搶劫而在2005年坐監的嫌犯，進行了手術以改變下顎結構，且藉由手術延長他的下肢增高。
The suspect confessed to the robberies but said he had the surgery because he did not like his appearance, the officer said.
