[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Yeon-ju] A man in his 40s who was secretly filming a high school girl by hiding a camera between his toes was caught by a citizen and handed over to the police.

The Bundang Police Station in Gyeonggi Province announced on the 8th that they have booked and are investigating a man in his 40s, identified as A, without detention on suspicion of violating the Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Crimes.

A is suspected of attempting to film under the skirt of a high school student, B, by hiding a small rod-shaped camera about 5 cm long between the toes of his slipper at a household goods store in Bundang-gu, Seongnam City, at around 6:15 p.m. on the 2nd.

A man who found A suspicious while he was extending his foot under B's skirt approached and discovered the camera between his toes, preventing the crime.

When A tried to flee after being caught, he was held by this citizen.

The citizen held A until the police arrived at the scene after receiving the report, handed him over to the police, and then left without revealing his identity.

Other citizens nearby also helped by blocking the store entrance to prevent A from escaping and assisted in handing him over to the police.
