On the 28th, Incheon Nonhyeon Police Station said that Mr. A안전놀이터, a man in his 40s who is suspected of obstructing general traffic and obstruction of business, was contacted by the police around the morning of the same day and expressed his intention to “take the vehicle out of the parking lot entrance.”
Mr. A was found to have been contacted that day after not being contacted despite continued notifications of police attendance. He did not show up even though he was told by his family that “the police went to the house.”
Mr. A conveyed his opinion to the police, saying, “I will move the vehicle as soon as possible and attend the police for investigation.”
Mr. A is accused of obstructing traffic by stopping the vehicle at the entrance and exit of the only underground parking lot of a commercial building in Nonhyeon-dong, Namdong-gu, Incheon for a week from the morning of the 22nd to this day.
As a result of the investigation, the driver of the vehicle was identified as a male tenant in his 40s who moved in on the 5th floor of the building.
The building management team that reported Mr. A stated in a police investigation, “There was a dispute with Mr. A over the usual management fee collection.”
Previously, the police reviewed the procedure for confiscating the vehicle, but even this did not meet the purpose of confiscation under the Criminal Procedure Act, making it difficult to move the vehicle.
In addition, since the location where Mr. A left the vehicle and left was not on the road under the Road Traffic Act, but inside a commercial building, it could not be towed.
Accordingly, the police applied for an arrest warrant and a search and seizure warrant for Mr. A the day before.
However, the prosecution dismissed the warrant, arguing that it was too early to issue an arrest warrant and that there was no reason to seize the vehicle to prove the crime.
