Two unidentified individuals broke into the Daejeo Vehicle Depot in Gangseo-gu, Busan, early yesterday (June 23), spray-painted graffiti across two cars of a subway train, and fled the scene.
CCTV footage revealed that the intruders climbed over the depot's perimeter fence and remained on-site for over an hour before escaping.
Although three night security guards were on duty at the time, it is believed the suspects exploited a gap in the patrol schedule to gain entry.
The police are currently tracking the suspects' whereabouts based on CCTV evidence and other materials.
A similar incident occurred in Busan in 2022, when two foreign nationals broke into a vehicle depot, vandalized the exterior of a subway train, and fled.
One of those suspects was later extradited to South Korea from Romania following an Interpol Red Notice.
It is known that such individuals often target restricted areas to create graffiti, subsequently posting their work online to gain a form of notoriety.
The Busan Transportation Corporation plans to calculate the costs for repairing the damaged fencing and restoring the subway train, and will pursue a claim for damages.
