Three men arrested for stealing masks and cash from wrestling goods store in Tokyo

TOKYO —

Three unemployed men were arrested on Monday for robbing a wrestling goods store in Chiyoda Ward and assaulting one of the employees on May 5 of last year. Katsumi Kubota, 50, of no fixed address, and Shinya Hanakawa, 28, from Shiroi City in Chiba, are suspected of stealing around 160,000 yen and five wrestling masks. They also kicked the 70-year-old store employee.

After the robbery, police had alerted other wrestling goods stores in Tokyo. Kubota’s name came up recently as he had approached another store about selling the items. Police said Kubota was a wrestling fan and is considered to be the instigator of the theft.

    yep, another crime solved by the public and the stupidity of the criminal nearly a year later. I think I'm starting to understand why the J-cops seem to do nothing. They don't have to. These idiots just keep hanging themselves.

    Roberries are on the rise as I had said few days back. But wait; 'THERE IS MORE AND MORE TO COME.' NOW COPS REALY HAVE TO DO THEIR JOB, AND HOPE THEY ARE USING REAL WEAPONS NOT JUST TOY GUNS. Three unemployed devils are working hard hope that judge will take this into consideration when sentencing them. Yes unemployed are hanging themselves due to the economy.
