"Bucheon Station at 10 am"..."Anxious" by the murder threat that came up again.

About 40 police officers...Citizens 'Anxiety' at 'threatening to kill'

Using IP to track down suspects...About 300 people were arrested in a year

Use of a site with a server overseas...difficulty in investigation

There are concerns that there will be a "security vacuum" in the concentration of the police force.

Police have launched an investigation by posting on the Internet that they will kill a person at Bucheon Station on Subway Line 1.

These indiscriminate threats, such as the announcement of a deadly rampage at Yatap Station, have not stopped, but only innocent citizens are anxious.

Reporter Shin Gwi-hye reports.

Police cars are lined up in front of Bucheon Station Square.

A uniformed policeman looks around in tension.

At 10 a.m. on the 22nd, an article about a murder at Bucheon Station was posted on the Internet, and the police launched a crackdown.

It's a little after 10 o'clock.

Bucheon Station here looks as usual, and the police are continuing to patrol in case of unexpected situations.

More than 40 people, including the police station in charge as well as the mobile patrol personnel of the provincial police agency, have been deployed.

I trust the police, but it's hard to shake the anxiety caused by the 'killing threat' article.

Police are tracking suspects through IP tracking, along with enhanced patrol activities.

Since August last year, he has posted such online murder notices nationwide. About 300 people have been arrested.

However, it is also true that the investigation is difficult because there are many cases of using sites with servers overseas.

[Kim Minji / Bucheon City, Gyeonggi Province] Most of them seem to be just writing, but there are many things that really happen.. It creates a lot of anxiety, so I hope people who post it like that can be caught.]

On top of that, there are concerns that the security power will be concentrated on one side and there could be a security vacuum.

Administrative power is wasted and civil concerns are only increasing due to the prediction of crimes behind anonymity.
