Man in His 40s Arrested for Tracking Down and Confining Ex-Girlfriend

A man in his 40s has been arrested on charges of confining his former romantic partner in a vehicle.

The Gyeonggi Gimpo Police Station announced today (August 24) that they have arrested a man in his 40s, identified as A, on charges of using an illegal tracking device to locate his ex-girlfriend and preventing her from getting out of his car.

The Bucheon Branch of the Incheon District Court held a pre-trial detention hearing for A today and issued an arrest warrant, taking into consideration the risks of evidence destruction and flight.

A is accused of forcing a woman in her 30s, identified as B, into his vehicle at around 8:20 a.m. the day before yesterday at a temporary parking lot near KINTEX in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, and confining her inside by refusing to let her out.

It was learned that the two had dated after meeting two years ago through their respective roles as a fishing boat operator and a fishing YouTuber.

Investigations revealed that he tracked down B's location by using a tracking device he had secretly attached to her vehicle.

According to the investigation, he told B, "Let's talk," made her get into his car, and started driving. He ignored B's demands to be let out of the vehicle and drove back and forth between Gimpo and Ilsan.

Police, responding to a report from B, intercepted A's vehicle in Ilsanseo-gu, Goyang, and arrested him at the scene.

During the investigation, police verified related charges based on B's testimony that A had previously committed illegal filming and assault.

In the process of checking how he tracked down the victim, police also uncovered the existence of the illegal tracking device.

Considering the gravity of the case, the police applied for an arrest warrant for A.
