University student arrested for stealing boys’ soccer uniforms in Ibaraki
IBARAKI —
A 21-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday for stealing boys’ soccer uniforms in late December and early January in Mito City, police said. Tastuya Hori, a fourth year student at Ibaraki Univeristy, is accused of illegally entering a home in Mito City several times between Dec 27 and Jan 3, and stealing boy’s soccer uniforms, a personal computer, family photographs and other items worth in total around 220,000 yen. Police said Hori had used information on the computer to target other homes.
On searching his home, police also found kids’ baseball and softball uniforms in addition to the soccer uniforms, and recovered around 300 items belonging to 20 different local teams. Hori has admitted to the allegations of theft over the New Year, and said he enjoyed looking at all the uniforms, adding that he had stolen them on over 40 occasions.
Police said Hori has been charged for a separate incident on Jan 30 in which he is accused of forcing his way into a woman’s apartment and stealing some items, injuring the woman in the process.

I thought I saw it all in Japan... This dude is a kleptomaniac thief and pedo fetish freak hands down. He needs a few years in the slammer however I dont think it would sort his mind out. My guess is he got little attention as a kid too. A lot of these harmless nerds can be quite harmful...and scary, and the gang banger in the hood in my own country is equally as dangerous. Just to think this society sells rape fantasy video games and violent manga, makes a guy like me think of the reality. Yes, I do believe Japan is a safe country but on the other hand... I can see this guy on the train... shy, reading a manga or playing on his phone, looks innocent but the above crimes are insane.

meanmutha, you are all over the place with wild assumptions and imagined associations. Pedos? Nerds? Rape fantasy? Video games? Manga? Come on man! This sort of crime would be as common as dirt if all those had any genuine connection. And if you notice, its NOT as common as dirt to steal soccer uniforms. First I ever heard of it.

If he was rhifieng around the shops it would be harder. We can call him as; 'OFFICAL SHOPAHOLIC FOR HIS OWN BENEFIT.' Is he unemployed?

"he enjoyed looking at all the uniforms"
At least he wasn't smelling them.

I think he likes to put the pants over his head. Why else would you steal these items?
