A member of a coalition of activists opposing the relocation of U.S. Forces Korea threatened residents at the new site in Daechu-ri, Pyeongtaek on Tuesday, accusing them of being ¡°police agents¡± and throwing stones at their cars.

The young man, a member of the Pan-National Committee to Deter the Expansion of U.S. Bases, damaged two cars owned by two local residents who still remain there and took documents from another, police and locals said Wednesday. The rear mirror of one car was broken and the windscreen of the other shattered.

The man was apprehended by residents and other activists. They quoted him as saying he saw the cars driving just behind a police car, and the drivers ¡°did not cooperate¡± with what he called his ¡°inspection.¡± This convinced him they were police spies. The activists apologized, promised compensation and vowed to prevent further incidents.
