Dozens of cars are gathered in a vacant lot in Gimhae, South Gyeongsang Province.
There are also various vehicles parked in the apartment parking lot, all of which are invincible vehicles, so-called anti-gun vehicles, collected for sale to illegal foreigners.
Seven people, including A in his 40s, bought more than 500 cars at low prices from March last year to last month that were held as collateral at gambling centers across the country.
Since then, it has been investigated that they have promoted cannon vehicles on social media and sold them to illegal foreign residents who saw them and approached them.
A police investigation found that illegal foreigners who bought cannon cars could not report them to investigative agencies and stole and resold the vehicles they sold in advance by installing a location tracker.
It was found that he drove with stolen license plates on a cannon vehicle in preparation for a police crackdown.
Some of the cannon vehicles distributed in this way were used for drug crimes, and some buyers even fled without relief after causing traffic accidents.
[Kim Il-gu / Chungnam National Police Agency Drug Investigation Director: Since you may be caught by the police while driving because you can't drive an expunged vehicle, take off your license plate from a regular vehicle parked on the road and attach it (as an invincible vehicle)].]
Forty-five people have been arrested by police on such crimes related to the transaction of anti-gun vehicles, and 17 of them have been arrested.
In the process of investigating these organizations, the police arrested five drug offenders and arrested a wanted person who caused a traffic accident with a cannon vehicle and fled.
In addition, eight vehicles were confiscated, applied for confiscation preservation, and 52 were handed over to local governments in charge.
