  • A 2.8-kilogram rock fell onto a parked car near Haeundae Beach in Busan, breaking through the roof and landing inside.

  • Police reviewed CCTV, dashcam footage and nearby residences but have not found a lead after nearly two months.

A round rock weighing about 2.8 kilograms crashed through the roof of a parked car near Busan's Haeundae Beach, but police still do not know who was responsible nearly two months later.

The incident occurred around July 10 in a parking lot near the beach, according to Haeundae Police Station. The rock measured about 19 centimeters by 12 centimeters and was found inside the vehicle after punching through its roof.

There were blind spots in the CCTV coverage, and nearby vehicle dashcams were too far from the scene, making them difficult to check.

· Haeundae Police officialThe official explained why investigators have struggled to identify the person responsible.

No one was inside the car at the time, and no injuries were reported. Police examined nearby CCTV footage and vehicle dashcams and questioned people in surrounding apartment buildings and residential areas.

An officer said investigators faced difficulties because some areas were outside the cameras' view and nearby dashcams were too far from the scene to provide clear evidence. Police have not yet identified a suspect or secured a decisive clue.

We investigated nearby apartment buildings and residential areas, but no clues have emerged so far.

· Haeundae Police officialThe official described the continuing search for evidence.
