A reed field at Hwamyeong Ecological Park in Busan, located on the banks of the Nakdong River.
A, who lights a fire with a paper towel greased with cooking oil, leaves the scene and meets someone’s eyes.
The thief is startled as if numb to his feet and turns to put out the fire, but the people who run away immediately catch him, the detectives.

The large-scale undercover work is due to fire reports received six times from the last 5 days to the most recent at the ecological park.
All of the fires in the reed fields during the evening hours meant that the police might have expected that someone unidentified would start the fire in the future.
This is the place where the fourth fire report was received in the reed field of the Ecological Park.
It was around 6:30 on the evening of the 10th, and regarding 600 square meters were burned.
Person A, who was captured in this way, repeated only the words ‘I wanted to burn the reed fields’.
Recently, he was even caught buying cooking oil at a mart. At the time of the arrest, he had no choice but to admit to the arson, but he continued to be ignorant of the fire ahead of him.
In terms of the amount, the damage is not great, but the police did not even admit this to the serial crimes, so they plan to apply for an arrest warrant for A.
