People who set fire to fishing boats tied to the harbor at dawn were caught.
It was investigated that customers who came to fish set fire to a competitor's ship, saying they were rushing to another boat.

At dawn, a man approaches a fishing boat with an oil barrel, and a moment later an explosion and flames soars and runs away in a hurry.
The fire is carried by strong winds of 10 m/s and spreads to nearby ships in an instant.
Fortunately, there were no casualties in the fire, but the five-ton fishing boat that started the fire was burned down, and five nearby fishing boats were partially burned.

After investigating and checking 800 CCTVs, the Coast Guard caught 4 people involved in the arson, including Mr. A, who set the fire.
Mr. A, who set the ship on fire, and Mr. B, who helped escape after the crime, received an order from Mr. C, and Mr. D delivered 4.5 million won for the crime instead of Mr. C.
Mr. C, who has been operating a fishing boat for nearly 20 years, recently planned a crime against the new vessel as the number of fishermen flocked to the new vessel and the number of his customers decreased.
Under the leadership of Mr. C, they identified the escape route and rehearsed twice since December last year, and they even showed the meticulousness of hiding gasoline and hammers throughout the pier.
