[Asia Economy Reporter Na Yeeun] A police officer in the Chungbuk region was caught installing an illegal camera in a women's restroom. Another police officer in Chungbuk was investigated for causing a disturbance by assaulting a civilian.

On the 22nd, according to the police, Sergeant A, who belongs to a certain district police substation in Cheongju, Chungbuk, is under investigation for installing a camera in the shared restroom of the substation where he works.

Sergeant A's crime was uncovered when female officer B, a colleague, discovered the camera installed in the restroom. After receiving the report, the police separated Sergeant A and Officer B and launched an investigation.

Sergeant A admitted to the related charges and was suspended from duty on the 18th, while Officer B has been excluded from work and is reportedly receiving psychological treatment.

Meanwhile, Police Officer C, belonging to a certain mobile unit of the Chungbuk Police Agency, was involved in a fistfight with acquaintance D around 3 a.m. at his rented room after drinking together and having an argument.

They are known to have been senior and junior during their military service as conscripted police officers. D, who was injured, was taken to the emergency room for treatment and later returned home.

A police official stated, "Although it was mutual assault, assaulting a civilian damaged the police's dignity," and added, "An internal investigation is underway against the officer, and disciplinary action will be decided based on the results."
