"I Killed Someone": Absurd Police Mobilization Turns Out to Be False Report

A man in his 50s has been arrested by police for making a false report to 112, claiming he had killed someone and prompting a massive emergency response in Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province.

According to police today (October 29), the suspect, A, is accused of calling 112 at around 8:30 a.m. yesterday from an officetel in Uijeongbu and falsely reporting, "I am going to surrender. I killed someone."

Following the report, 31 police officers, 9 firefighters, and 11 vehicles were dispatched to the scene, but it was confirmed that no actual murder had taken place.

Police urgently arrested A on charges of interference with official duties by fraudulent means.

A stated during questioning that he committed the crime out of resentment, claiming, "There is no one who acknowledges me, and the police do not respond even when I call 112."

Police plan to apply for an arrest warrant for A.
