[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] A delivery motorcycle driver was caught on a mysterious rope and fell in an apartment complex in Guri-si, Gyeonggi Province, prompting the police to launch an investigation.


On the afternoon of the 3rd, a post titled "What just happened" was uploaded on an online community along with a photo showing a motorcycle fallen on a rainy road.


The author claimed, "It was raining heavily, and while slowly entering the ground level, a white rope suddenly popped out and caught my neck," adding, "Of course, the motorcycle fell, and when I looked to see what happened, the security guard had installed a rope on a pillar and pulled it the moment the motorcycle entered."


He explained the situation at the time, saying, "It's not like we're catching animals," and "When the police asked to see the closed-circuit television (CCTV), the management office staff had already deleted only that part. The driver went to the police station to file a complaint, and the residents came out to watch."


He added, "Honestly, would an 80-year-old security guard have installed it?" and "It seems to be a collaboration between the management office and the residents' representatives. Delivery drivers are currently in an uproar, refusing to deliver to the apartment."


Afterward, the post spread across various online communities, raising suspicions that it was an intentionally installed trap.


According to the Guri Police Station on the 4th, delivery driver A immediately reported to the police and stated, "While slowly entering the apartment complex, the security guard pulled the rope taut, which caught my neck and caused the motorcycle to fall."


On the other hand, the security guard's side reportedly denied A's claim, saying, "The rope got caught on the motorcycle and was dragged, so I tried to hold it."



As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that there was CCTV covering the scene at the time, but no recorded footage existed. The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident, including whether the CCTV footage was deleted and the original purpose of the rope installation.
