Police Lied to Pregnant Woman: "Come Out Now, We Saw Everything on CCTV"

Accused a Pregnant Woman of Theft Based on False Claims
Police to Take Action After Investigating the Facts

A complaint has been filed alleging that the police accused a pregnant woman of theft without clear evidence, prompting the police to launch an internal investigation.

According to the Gimpo Police Station in Gyeonggi Province on September 4, a pregnant woman, identified as Ms. A, filed a complaint the previous day through the National Petition Portal and the police station’s audit office, criticizing Officer B of Gimpo Police Station for improper investigative conduct.

Ms. A, who filed the complaint, claimed that around 3 p.m. on September 1, Officer B came to her home and treated her as a suspect in the theft of a neighbor’s delivered package on the same floor, causing her distress. At the time, there had been a package theft incident involving a resident living on the same floor as Ms. A, and she alleges that Officer B treated her as the perpetrator.

It was reported that Officer B rang the doorbell, knocked loudly on the front door, and woke Ms. A, who was taking a nap, shouting, "I am a detective. Come out immediately." On September 3, Ms. A told JTBC’s "Incident Chief" program, "My husband was not home at the time, and the man outside wasn’t in uniform, so I was extremely frightened."

Ms. A claimed that Officer B threatened her, saying, "We checked the closed-circuit television (CCTV) and confirmed that you took the item." However, investigations revealed that the CCTV footage Officer B claimed to have checked did not actually exist, and that he made the statement based on related circumstances rather than actual evidence.

A police official stated, "The audit department is investigating the facts and will take necessary measures based on the findings."
