<Reporter> The
afternoon, a man in his twenties, A, fled in handcuffs just before being sent to Uijeongbu Prison.
The police searched the metropolitan area yesterday and yesterday, but could not find Mr. A.
However, Mr. A came to the Gyeonggi-do Hanam Police Station at 8:20 pm yesterday evening, about 28 hours after he escaped, and surrendered himself.
[Police in charge: I know that he entered the main gate of the Hanam Police Station in his father's car.] The
handcuffs he was wearing at the time of the escape were not found, but the police said that additional investigations are needed on the circumstances of the handcuffs being damaged.
Initially, A was arrested by the police on charges of theft.
However, after the arrest, the police found out that Mr. A was wanted because he did not go to court while being tried for other theft charges. Accordingly, he handed over Mr. A's recruit to the prosecution, but while Mr. A was waiting to be tested for Corona 19 it's run away.
After investigating Mr. A this morning, the police will decide whether to apply for an arrest warrant in relation to the alleged escape or hand over the new recruit to the prosecution as it is.
