Yesterday afternoon, a child of a Korean expatriate was abducted from a residential neighborhood in Cebu, Philippines.
After checking neighborhood CCTV, the parents saw that a man in his 30s had broken into their home and abducted their child with a large suitcase.
The assailant nonchalantly pushed the large suitcase for several hundred meters into a parking lot and then disappeared in a vehicle he had prepared.

Upon hearing the news, local community members reported the kidnapping on social media and the license plate number of the car used in the crime, and the Korean Embassy Cebu immediately coordinated with the local police to locate the vehicle.
At around 8 p.m., seven hours after the crime, the culprits were arrested and the child was rescued safely.
