Vehicle Blocking Shopping Center Parking Lot for 6 Days... Police Plan to Request Arrest and Search Warrants

The police have launched a forced investigation into a tenant who abandoned a vehicle at the entrance of an underground parking lot of a commercial building in Incheon for six days and disappeared.

On the 27th, the Nonhyeon Police Station in Incheon announced that they plan to apply for an arrest warrant and a vehicle seizure search warrant for a man in his 40s, Mr. A, on charges of general traffic obstruction and business obstruction.

Mr. A is suspected of obstructing traffic by leaving his vehicle at the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot of a commercial building in Nonhyeon-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon, from around 8:30 a.m. on the 22nd for six consecutive days.

The police received a report from the building merchants and notified Mr. A and his family to appear, but as they continued to be unreachable, they decided to apply for an arrest warrant on this day. They also plan to apply for a search warrant to seize Mr. A’s vehicle.

Due to Mr. A’s vehicle, the parking lot on the basement levels 1 and 2 of this commercial building, which can accommodate about 30 cars, has been blocked for nearly a week. However, since the place where Mr. A parked the vehicle is inside the commercial building and not a road under the Road Traffic Act, it cannot be forcibly towed.

Investigations revealed that Mr. A, who abandoned the vehicle, is a tenant of a commercial space on the 5th floor of this building.

It is known that Mr. A blocked the parking lot after the building management recently installed a parking barrier and began charging parking fees to prevent long-term parking of external vehicles.

The management of this building is divided into two entities, and Mr. A is said to belong to the other entity that is in a legal dispute with the management group that installed the barrier.

A building management official told the police, "Since the building was completed in 2008, parking fees had not been collected for 15 years, but due to the excessive number of external vehicles parking, a barrier was installed for the first time in mid-this month," adding, "We did not have prior consultation with other tenants who are in legal disputes with the management group over management fees."
