The Gangdong-gu Office in Seoul (Mayor Lee Soo-hee) announced today (July 10) that it contributed to the arrest of a suspect who attempted to abduct a woman on a street in the district by monitoring footage from its CCTV Integrated Control Center on June 29.
According to the district office, a 112 emergency call was received at 2:15 a.m. that day from a woman in her 20s stating, "A man tried to abduct me" on a street in Cheonho-dong.
Following a request from the 112 emergency operations center, two operators at the Gangdong-gu CCTV Integrated Control Center reviewed the footage from the relevant time and location. They confirmed the incident as reported, witnessing a man suddenly grab the woman by the neck and attempt to drag her away before fleeing the scene.
The operators identified the suspect and provided police with his physical description, belongings, and escape route. The suspect was apprehended by police approximately 20 minutes after the incident.
The Gangdong Police Station plans to award commendations to the two operators for their contribution to the arrest.
Gangdong-gu Mayor Lee Soo-hee stated, "We will continue to prevent crime risks through active and professional CCTV monitoring and will consistently expand our AI-based selective monitoring system to ensure a safe Gangdong-gu 24 hours a day."
