[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] The Gangdong Police Station in Seoul announced on the 24th that it awarded a commendation to a security guard who contributed to the capture of a wanted person.

According to Gangdong Police Station, Jeong Mo (36), a security guard working at the Gangdong Nonghyup branch in Cheonho-dong, Gangdong-gu, received a 112 emergency call on the afternoon of the 12th reporting "a wanted person is at Nonghyup." He informed the responding officers that "a person who left after conducting banking transactions a short while ago seemed suspicious," providing details of the suspect's appearance. Based on this information, the police apprehended a man in his 40s attempting to flee on a motorcycle at the scene.

Kang Sang-gil, chief of Gangdong Police Station, said, "Thanks to the security guard who always does his best to prevent crime and accurately identified the suspect, we were able to make a swift arrest." He added, "Since crimes such as voice phishing and the use of fraudulent accounts require close cooperation from financial institutions, we urge the public to actively report any suspicious behavior or signs of criminal activity, no matter how minor."
