Why a CCTV Operator Was Shocked by a Suspicious Man at Midnight

A man set fire to a pile of boxes on the side of the road and fled, and after being caught by the police, he reportedly stated that he did it because he was cold.

In the early morning of October 1, on a road in Dobong-gu, Seoul.

A man moves around before approaching a pile of discarded boxes on the roadside.

Finding this suspicious, a CCTV control center operator zoomed in on the screen to take a closer look.

It turned out that the man was setting fire to the boxes with a lighter.

He even poured whiskey onto the burning boxes, set fire to newspapers, and put them inside the pile of boxes to make the fire bigger.

Afterward, he jaywalked and quickly crossed to the other side of the road.

Fortunately, police officers were dispatched after receiving a report from the control center operator and quickly put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.

In the meantime, the man crossed the street back to watch the situation, but upon seeing the police officers, he hurriedly fled the scene.

However, the 112 situation room had been watching the entire situation.

Hearing the radio transmission saying, "He is running away," the police immediately gave chase and caught the man.

And the man admitted to the crime, stating that the reason he set the fire was because he was "cold."

We have delivered this rather absurd piece of news.
