Chinese teens-illegal filming
Chinese teen who filmed Korean fighters says father is public security officer
SEOUL, April 8 (Yonhap) -- One of the two Chinese teenagers, who were booked for illegally filming fighter jets near a major air base in Suwon, south of Seoul, last month, has allegedly told investigators that his father is a public security officer, police officials said Tuesday.
The two Chinese nationals are suspected of using their DSLR camera and mobile phone to film fighter jets taking off and landing at the Air Force's 10th Fighter Wing at around 3:30 p.m. on March 21, according to the police. They reportedly attend high school in China and arrived here on a tourist visa three days ahead of the incident.
The Gyeonggi Nambu Provincial Police Agency, the National Intelligence Service and the Defense Security Command have since formed a joint investigation team over the case.
In particular, the investigators are verifying the statement from one of the two that his father is a Chinese public security officer. If the statement is true, the investigators plan to closely examine whether the suspect received any specific instruction from his father.
