Petty crime? Where I come from, robbery at knifepoint is most certainly defined as a major crime. I hope they catch this dangerous criminal, he will no doubt do it again if not.

What, the "karaboru" thrown dye didn't deter him last time?

Robbing at his own convenience?

Why do you say this? Petty crime in Japan has been around for decades, it's no better nor worse than before, it's maybe because you are now paying attention to it here.

I think I saw him like 3 times this morning alone! That's a pretty vague description here. I have all of those descriptive items at home as well as many other people.
