[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A man in his 20s who left women's underwear and lipstick in front of a house where a woman lives alone was caught by the police. The man lived in the same building or nearby buildings as the victims.

On the 10th, the Namdong Police Station in Incheon announced that they had booked Mr. A without detention on charges of violating the Act on the Punishment of Stalking Crimes.

Mr. A is suspected of leaving women's underwear, lipstick, and other items in front of the homes of Ms. B, a woman in her 20s, and Ms. C, a woman in her 30s, who live in a villa in Namdong-gu, Incheon, last February, causing them to feel uneasy.

It was investigated that Mr. A happened to see Ms. B and others while going out, found out their addresses, and committed the crime. During the police investigation, Mr. A reportedly stated, "I did it because I was interested."

After receiving reports from Ms. B and others, the police conducted a two-month investigation based on CCTV footage around the victims' residences and arrested Mr. A.

A police official said, "It was confirmed that Ms. B and others lived in the same building or nearby buildings as the suspect," and added, "Mr. A was sent to the prosecution at the end of last month."
