"Forced into a Vehicle and Driven Around" Reported... Police Investigating

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Jung-yoon] Police have launched an investigation after receiving a report that two men forcibly put a colleague, who had traveled with them, into a vehicle and drove around with him.

According to the police on the 9th, the Songpa Police Station in Seoul is investigating a man in his early 20s and a man in his late teens on charges of confinement.

They are suspected of forcibly putting A (19), a fellow delivery worker, into a rental car and driving him from Yongin, Gyeonggi Province to Macheon-dong, Songpa-gu on the 5th.

The incident reportedly arose from a conflict over repair costs after a tire on the rental car was damaged during a trip they took together. At around 10:45 p.m. that day, A sent a text message to 112 reporting that he had been kidnapped by car somewhere in Yongin. Based on the rental car’s license plate number provided by A, the police tracked the location and found the car parked in front of a delivery worker’s office in Macheon-dong at around 11:20 p.m.

The police are investigating the exact circumstances of the incident.
