Changwon Coast Guard Arrests Foreign Habitual Thief While Police Officer Was on Vacation

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kang Sharon] Changwon Maritime Police Station announced on the 30th that it was belatedly revealed that an off-duty police officer apprehended a suspect in the act (a foreign habitual thief).

Sergeant Kim Min-seok of the Maritime Safety Division of the Maritime Police was buying items at a convenience store located in Jin-gu, Busan on the 17th, his day off, when he heard a voice saying, "Thief, help me." He saw the convenience store owner being pushed and A (female, 53, Morocco) fleeing. He chased her for about 60 meters, subdued her, and handed her over to the nearby police precinct.

Meanwhile, Sergeant Kim also became a role model for many by saving a precious life through prompt CPR and accurate emergency treatment after discovering a man in his 30s who suddenly lost consciousness and collapsed while attending a friend's wedding on Saturday, July 13, 2019.

Sergeant Kim of Changwon Maritime Police said, "I just did what any police officer should do, so I feel embarrassed that it became known externally," and added, "I have recently been participating in the Integrity Rookie Club activities within the police station, and I feel even more responsible."
