"Home stealing" Indictment against three people arrested for stealing cash from an elderly house Tokyo District Prosecutor, September 2, 19:14
By April 2, the prosecution had indicted three men who were arrested for stealing cash from an elderly home using a technique called "visit stealing" in April due to the declaration of an emergency.
Three 28-year-old men in Yokohama, whose occupations are unknown, visited an elderly person's home living alone in April, pretending to be a contractor, because they had declared a state of emergency due to the new coronavirus. I was arrested on the suspicion of stealing 7,000 yen.
The Metropolitan Police Department was investigating the case as a burglary case called “visiting theft,” but the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office indicted three people last month.
The prosecution has not revealed the reason for the disposition.
