[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] The police have requested an arrest warrant for a woman in her 30s who caused a disturbance by ramming a convenience store with her car in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi Province.

Investigations revealed that the offending driver committed the crime after a long-standing conflict with the store owner related to a drawing contest held by the convenience store.

On the 16th, the Pyeongtaek Police Station in Gyeonggi announced that they had applied for an arrest warrant for A (38) on charges of special property damage and obstruction of business.

A is accused of arguing with the convenience store owner in Dogok-ri, Pyeongtaek, around 6 p.m. the previous day, then driving her Genesis sedan into the first-floor convenience store, causing damage to the shop.

In particular, after ramming the store, she did not get out of the car but moved back and forth inside the convenience store for about 20 minutes, causing a disturbance and damaging fixtures inside the store.

Police who arrived at the scene after receiving a report asked A to get out of the car, but when she refused, they fired one warning shot and arrested her on the spot.

At the time, three people were inside the store, including the owner and two headquarters employees, but fortunately, no injuries were reported.

During the police investigation, A reportedly stated, "I asked the convenience store headquarters to accept my daughter's drawing for the drawing contest they hosted, but the store owner deliberately refused to submit it, which led to an argument."

B stated, "We sent the drawing to the headquarters, but it was lost during the delivery process, so we apologized to A several times and promised compensation. However, A refused the compensation and frequently came to the store to complain, claiming that we deliberately did not send the drawing."

It is also known that A is currently on trial for charges of insult and obstruction of business after causing a disturbance at the same convenience store in June and verbally abusing police officers who responded to the call.
