[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] A taxi driver who fled to a U.S. military base to evade the police after violating traffic laws has been booked by the police.

Seoul Yongsan Police Station announced on the 10th that they are investigating taxi driver A on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act and trespassing on a building.

A is suspected of evading police pursuit by entering the Yongsan U.S. military base in the opposite direction while being chased by police on the 20th of last month for traffic violations such as crossing the center line and disobeying signals and instructions.

The police, who lost track of A after he entered the U.S. military base where administrative authority does not apply, later identified A's personal information and summoned him for questioning. It was reported that A had previously worked at a U.S. military base and was familiar with the area around and inside the Yongsan base.

The police plan to decide whether to transfer the case after completing the investigation.
