The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced on the 12th that on the 10th, a Mobile Patrol Unit officer on preventive patrol near Yongsan-gu Office in Seoul apprehended Mr. A, a man in his 20s of Liberian nationality who was staying illegally.

At around 11:10 a.m. that day, the Mobile Patrol Unit discovered a damaged vehicle operating near Yongsan-gu Office and confirmed through a portable terminal that the driver, Mr. A, had an outstanding warrant.

Mr. A claimed that he was a different person from the wanted individual, but the Mobile Patrol Unit confirmed through a foreign resident status inquiry that Mr. A and the wanted person were the same individual.

When the police requested him to get out of the vehicle, Mr. A pushed the officers and fled across a four-lane road. After a 1 km chase, the Mobile Patrol Unit arrested Mr. A on the spot and handed him over to the Immigration Office.

It was revealed that Mr. A was driving without a license while staying illegally and had an outstanding fine warrant.

A Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency official said, “The Mobile Patrol Unit was able to achieve this result by actively conducting random inspections and traffic enforcement on a regular basis. We will do our best to protect the peaceful daily lives of citizens and ensure stable public safety.”
