The National Police Agency reported on Monday that they received 10 false reports of criminal activity on April Fools’ Day, which fell on Sunday in South Korea.



Among the false reports, a woman in her 40s made a false police report, in which the “nature of the crime was deemed absolutely despicable.” She was booked without detainment, while nine other cases were relayed to the court for summary trials, police said Monday.



The woman called the police on Monday saying that “her child in her husband’s custody is crying.” Police discovered that the woman made the false report in order to harass her husband who lived separately due to a family dispute.



Dispatched police officers realized that it was a false report upon arriving at the house and arrested her on the spot.
