Novel data from the $K^{ -}_{ stop}A$ absorption reaction in light nuclei $^{ 6,7}$Li and $^{ 9}$Be are presented. The study aimed at finding $\Lambda t$ correlations. Regardless of $A$, the $\Lambda t$ pairs are preferentially emitted in opposite directions. Reaction modeling predominantly assigns to the $K^-_{ stop}A\to\Lambda t(N)A'$ direct reactions the emission of the $\Lambda t$ pairs whose yield is found to range from $10^{ -3}$ to $10^{ -4}$$/K^-_{ stop}$. The experiment was performed with the FINUDA spectrometer at DA$\Phi$NE (LNF).
