[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] A high school student who falsely reported the installation of explosives in Jeonju Hanok Village was apprehended by the police.
The Jeonbuk Jeonju Wansan Police Station announced on the 10th that they arrested A (16) on charges of obstruction of official duties by deception.
A is accused of falsely reporting at 6:11 p.m. on the 30th of last month that explosives had been installed at a bakery in Jeonju Hanok Village.
