[브레이크뉴스=배종태 기자] 부산 사상경찰서는 공용이용시설에 폭탄을 설치했다는 허위 내용으로 112에 신고한 혐의로 30대 남성 A씨를 검거했다.
Police in Busan’s Sasang District have arrested a man in his 30s on charges of making a series of false 112 emergency calls claiming bombs had been planted at public facilities, authorities said Wednesday.
Investigators allege the suspect, identified only as Mr. A, found a lost mobile phone and used it to make three separate bomb threats. The incidents include a December 2024 claim that a bomb had been detonated at a local library, a July 2025 report of an explosive at Busan Paik Hospital, and an August 2025 threat targeting Hadan Swimming Pool.
Each report prompted a large-scale emergency response. Police dispatched Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams and fire crews, evacuated nearby areas, and searched the sites. No explosives were found, but officials said the hoaxes diverted significant manpower and resources, disrupting normal law enforcement operations.
Mr. A was identified through phone records and CCTV footage and was taken into custody on August 13 on suspicion of obstruction of official duties by fraudulent means. Sasang Police said they are also considering a civil damages claim in connection with the case.
Under Korean law, making false emergency reports involving explosives can carry a penalty of up to five years in prison or a fine of up to 10 million won.
“False reports cause serious disruption to police operations and waste public resources,” a Sasang Police Station official said. “In addition to criminal punishment, offenders can also face civil liability for damages, so extreme caution is advised
