JEJU, (South Korea): Jeju police have launched a crackdown on minor offences, including jaywalking, littering, smoking on cigarette-free streets and public urination, in response to recent complaints from locals over unruly sights involving tourists, officials said on Thursday (June 27).
Within the first hour of the crackdown on June 25, which lasted around 1½ hours, the police on South Korea’s largest island caught nine law violators, the majority of whom were foreign tourists jaywalking.
