Police officers separate the men and women, listen for a while, then get the two men into the car and disappear.



This is a scene where police dispatched to the scene after reporting a woman driver who was pregnant, arrested two active duty non-commissioned officers.



The driver is said to have reported to the police that the two men had been talking to the two men after they identified themselves as police officers and said they were cracking down on drinking and prostitution.



As a result of the police investigation, it was confirmed that they were intoxicated at the time, and one of them was a non-commissioned officer belonging to the military police of a nearby military unit.



Military police are not authorized to investigate or interrogate civilians other than in military-related cases.



The police, who confirmed their identity, said that they immediately handed over the recruits to the military police of their unit.



A military base official said, "The two explained that it happened while they were trying to ask the driver of a car, who was a witness, while they were tracking a vehicle believed to be a teenage prostitution gang."



They also said that they informed the driver that they were a 'military police officer'.



The unit will investigate whether they were impersonating a general police officer and for what reason they approached the female driver at dawn.
