Late on the night of the 29th, when early voting for the presidential election was taking place, a man and a woman who unlawfully entered the building of the Election Commission were caught by the police.
On the 30th, the Guro Police Station in Seoul said it arrested a man in his 50s and a woman in her 60s on charges of breaking and entering.
They are suspected of unlawfully entering the Election Commission building located in Guro-dong, Guro-gu, Seoul, around 11:30 p.m. the previous day.
When arrested, the two were reportedly lying in front of the office door. They are said to have stated in police questioning that they came to "monitor the early voting ballot box."
However, a spokesperson for the Election Commission said, "The floor they entered was used as a storage and meeting room, and the early voting ballot box was not stored there."
The police are investigating the detailed circumstances of the crime involving the two.
