The clever trick that the man who was charged with "Apoden robbery" testified was 17:59 on May 30.
The man who was arrested gave a detailed testimony about the actual situation of the "Apoden robbery" that broke into the robbery after he applied the "Apoden" asking how much cash he had at his house. In the group, we decided on the roles in detail and used an application where messages were erased in a certain period of time, and we were able to see clever tricks.
What he testified was a defendant in his thirties who was arrested and prosecuted last December for tying a couple in their 80s at a house in Higashimurayama, Tokyo, who robbed them of cash of 4.7 million yen. I accepted an interview at a detention center in Tokyo.
When I was looking for a high-paying job that had a debt at that time, I found a "dark part-time job" recruitment on Twitter. There were words related to special scams such as "Receiver" and "Dekoko" and the word "Tataki" indicating robbery.
For the interaction with the "director," I was told to use the "Telegram" application, which has the function of deleting the messages that have been exchanged after a certain period of time.
Approximately a week later, when I was contacted for work, the defendant said, "I felt a thin work, but I wanted money, so I headed to the station where I was ordered."
At the station, a man I didn't know called out and said, "I'm robbery together. When I called the house where the" instructor "enters the robbery, I found that the elderly couple's two-person living cost 50 million yen." I told you.
The information of the victim was grasped by the "instructor" by "Apoden" and sent to the scene, so the defendant said, "For the first time, I knew what to do."
After being told the address of the house by the "instructor", he broke the window glass with a stone and invaded, tying the couple with a banding band and robbing cash of 4.7 million yen. I was given 700,000 yen as a reward.
Defendant was then arrested by the Metropolitan Police Department and said, "I am annoying the victim and parents. I regret why I did such a thing."
According to investigators, the number of these cases was 10 last year, which is almost double the number of 18 in the past, and the Metropolitan Police Department is embarking on an analysis for the first time.
A criminology expert said, "Apoden robbery" is a crime that mixes unconventional robbery and fraud. It confirms by phone whether the house has a financial value and robs you of money. It is next to our life. It is a dangerous thing that happens in Japan, and how to eradicate it is a big problem. "
