Subsequent police investigations have revealed 48 days of action.

Immediately after leaving the police station, he stolen his bicycle and continued to escape from the Kansai region to the Shikoku and Chugoku regions.

Of these, in Shikoku, I attached a plate called `` Around Japan '' made by the Ehime Prefectural Office to a bicycle, pretended to be a traveler, exchanged conversations with the people I met, and also responded to shooting videos in a funny way .

At a roadside station in Kochi Prefecture, I received a question from a police officer for duties, but she passed herself under a pseudonym, and the police did not check the bicycle security registration number.

After visiting Shikoku, he visited the Ehime Prefectural Office again and gave reports and thanks for the journey.

After that, it is thought that he went to Hiroshima Prefecture and went around the Atomic Bomb Dome and Kintai Bridge in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.

Hida's possession when he was secured was 280 yen, and it is believed that he continued to flee while repeating shoplifting.

Osaka Prefectural Police to strengthen control of detention facilities

Following the unusual situation where a suspect escaped from the police station detention center, the Osaka Prefectural Police reinforced the acrylic board in the interview room with metal fittings so that it did not come off, or made the door auto-locked and opened it. We have been promoting measures such as changing to a non-battery-operated one so that the buzzer that always sounds works.

On the other hand, it was known that one of the two duty crews on the detention center had fled during the short break during the break, and the police inspected some police stations on detention this spring. We decided to close it and consolidate it at a nearby office to strengthen management.
