Overview
- Investigators in Gyeonggi Province report multiple arrests tied to a network that outsourced door-to-door intimidation for 500,000–1,000,000 won in crypto.
- On March 1, the Suwon District Court issued a warrant for a suspect identified as Im over property damage and trespass tied to a February 22 attack in Dongtan New City.
- Police describe tactics that included spraying lacquer on front doors, distributing defamatory leaflets, scattering trash, and spreading human waste at residential sites.
- An earlier arrest on February 24 in Sanbon-dong is part of the same pattern, and authorities are also reviewing links to a similar December 7 case in Pyeongtaek.
- Suspects say directions came through Telegram and some claim they do not know who financed the jobs, as police work to identify higher-level coordinators.
