A teenager who posted a notice on social media to incite illegal motorcycle street racing has been referred to the prosecution.

The Chungnam Provincial Police Agency announced on the 2nd that they have sent A (17) to the prosecution without detention on charges including joint dangerous acts under the Road Traffic Act.

A is accused of posting a message on social media last March that read, "What is Samiljeol in the Chungnam region? We will show you for sure in Hongseong on March 3," inciting illegal street racing.

On March 1, police conducted a special crackdown on illegal street racing in Cheonan, Asan, Hongseong, and other areas, arresting 64 people and confiscating one motorcycle.

It was found that A posted the message after the street racing on Samiljeol failed due to the police's intensive crackdown.

A is also accused of not stopping at posting the notice, but actually participating in illegal street racing with companions on motorcycles without license plates, riding in a line for about 8 kilometers around 1 to 2 a.m. on March 3.

A police official stated, "Illegal street racing has become an annual event on Samiljeol and Gwangbokjeol, causing inconvenience to citizens," and added, "We will continue to crack down on illegal acts and relentlessly pursue those who incite such activities."
