He is accused of stealing a laptop computer from a church in Deokjin-gu, Jeonju, North Jeolla Province, around 4:30 p.m. on May 27.
Since mid-May, the suspect had allegedly broken into nine different churches and taken laptops and bicycles worth an estimated 6.6 million won ($5,900).
He committed the crime only a week after he was released from prison, according to police.
During an investigation, the suspect claimed he needed money for living expenses and sold the goods online, police said.
