Police Intensively Track 119 Sex Offenders with 'Unknown Whereabouts' View original image


[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Gwan-joo] Amid the ongoing aftermath of the case involving Kang Mo (56, in custody), who damaged an electronic tracking device (electronic anklet) and murdered two women, the police have launched a search for sex offenders with unknown whereabouts.


The National Police Agency announced on the 2nd that it had disseminated the "Intensive Crackdown on Sex Offenders with Unknown Whereabouts and Comprehensive Inspection Plan for High-Risk Groups" to police agencies nationwide at the end of last month.


Sex offenders who have been ordered to register their personal information must register with the local police station, and if they change their residence, they must update their registration. As of July this year, 119 sex offenders were recorded as having unknown whereabouts due to failure to update their registration.



The police had originally planned to conduct inspections in the second half of this year but reportedly moved up the schedule following the Kang Mo case.
