[Lee Ho-young / Acting Police Commissioner: (I think arrest investigation is a principle.) Yes, we are investigating strongly]

Many young men were seen at the scene, and some analyzed that they may have served as the leader of the action, with 46 people in their 20s and 30s out of 90 arrested.

They broke into the Western District Court. Of the 46 people caught, more than half were in their 20s and 30s with 25, and one teenager was included.

Police are also continuing to track the number of undetected people as it is estimated that more than a hundred people broke into the Western District Court.

Police say they are analyzing evidence, YouTube videos, and CCTVs around them, and even if they cover their faces with masks, they are identifying them based on their clothes.

The police plan to actively protect the personal safety of judges and constitutional judges who issue warrants.
