A 66-year-old man was arrested for stealing cash by invading a restaurant in Osaka, which had been shortening business hours due to the spread of the new coronavirus. The man says that he knew that the management of restaurants was difficult, but he wanted money.
The person arrested was Katsuhiko Iwamoto (66), an unemployed person in Nishinari Ward, Osaka.

Originally this shop was open until midnight, but it was open until 8 pm after an emergency declaration was issued last month, which means that the shop was unattended at that time.

Since last month, about 30 cases of damages targeting stores that have closed or shortened business hours due to the influence of the new coronavirus have been confirmed, and the police should not leave cash or expensive items. We are also calling for confirmation such as the door lock.

A woman who worked at the damaged store noticed that the glass door at the entrance was broken when she went to work on the 24th of last month.
When I looked inside the store, I found that the safes and other things in the Chubo were gone, and that the security camera showed a man breaking a glass door into a concrete block and going inside.
The woman said, "I used to put a piece of paper to shorten business hours, so I think I was targeted outside business hours. I was really scared. I try not to store cash at stores." It was.
