[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] High school students who drove a stolen vehicle without a license or aided the crime were caught by the police.
On the 18th, the Incheon Western Police Station announced that five high school students, including A (16), were booked without detention on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act.
A is suspected of driving a passenger car without a license on a road in the Seo-gu area of Incheon around 7 p.m. the previous day. The other four are suspected of aiding the unlicensed driving by riding in the vehicle driven by A.
The police received a report saying, "It seems that students are driving a vehicle without a license," and pursued them, arresting them around 8 p.m. that day in the underground parking lot of a commercial building in Wondang-dong, Seo-gu.
The passenger car driven by A was reported stolen to the police at the end of last month. A claimed to the police, "I received the vehicle from an acquaintance and did not steal it."
A police official said, "We plan to investigate whether A and others were involved in stealing the vehicle."
