A man in his 60s who tried to lure a teenager to do something bad late at night was caught by the police.
However, it was none other than the ‘Female Safe Home Scouts’ who were on a night patrol in the neighborhood that rescued the teenage woman from the moment of crisis.
This is a report by Lee Dong-kyung, a reporter.

An alleyway in Geumcheon-gu, Seoul.
A man takes a woman’s hand and takes her somewhere.
Two women who passed them look back as if something is unclear.
These are women in their 40s and 50s who belonged to the ‘Women’s Safe Home Scouts’ in Seoul who were on patrol at night.
The grandfather was about to patrol again to meet his granddaughter, but a small whisper in his ear made him turn away.

“Behind (a teenage woman) is saying ‘Uncle, Mister’ to Grandpa. At that time, I thought it was strange and ran with it.”
The crew immediately chased after them on the bench in front of the bar.

“(Another member of the crew) said to the man, ‘How do you know, where did you meet him?’ and he said they met at a bar. But because he said contradictory things…”
While the man was distracted by conversation, he reported it to the police and was able to immediately arrest the man.

“(The captured man) had a blushing face, and I saw him again in the ward. It’s embarrassing, at that age. How do you see the faces of your family?”
The police have booked a man in his 60s on suspicion of sex crimes and are investigating the case, and they plan to pay a letter of appreciation and a reward to the female crew members.
Black smoke billows out of the building incessantly.
At around 2pm today, a fire or building was burned in the church building in Bangok-dong, Wonju-si, Gangwon-do in three hours.
Ten people, including the pastor and family, were evacuated and no one was injured.
