South Korea police on Friday raided the office of an activist whose anti-North Korea leafleting campaign has intensified tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

Police said officers visited the Seoul office of Park Sang-hak to confiscate leaflets, account books and other related materials. The Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency said that Park will be summoned soon for an investigation.

Authorities in Gyeonggi province, which borders North Korea, requested a separate investigation of several activist groups, including Park's, for alleged fraud, embezzlement and other charges over their donation activities. A police agency official involved in the case said officers also raided the office of Park's brother, Park Jung-oh, who has floated plastic bottles filled with rice toward North Korea across the sea boundary. The official, who requested anonymity because the investigation is ongoing, said police plan to summon Park Jung-oh too.
