Detained in a detention center overlooked by a smartphone inspection that the suspect had hidden September 24, 12:10

In June, the Kochi Prefectural Police Headquarters dismissed five people by the 24th, saying that they had overlooked the suspect in the detention center of the police station and brought in a smartphone. ..

According to the Kochi Prefectural Police Headquarters, five men, including a male police inspector in their 50s who work at a police station in the prefecture, conducted a physical examination in June to detain the arrested suspect in a detention center. He didn't notice the smartphone he had hidden.



At the time of the physical examination, the metal detector responded, but the suspect was detained as it was because there was no place to hide in his underwear.



However, the suspect had a smartphone hidden in his underwear, calling an acquaintance from the toilet in the detention center, taking a picture of his face and sending an image.



When a police officer who was suspicious of using the toilet for a long time called out, the suspect submitted his smartphone himself.



The Kochi Prefectural Police Headquarters dismissed the police inspector as the chief inspector and four police officers as the chief inspector because the inspection was incomplete.



In addition, we will strive to prevent recurrence by thoroughly conducting physical examinations.
