An elementary school teacher in Akiruno, Tokyo, was arrested on suspicion of vandalism for hiding the shoes of three children.

At this elementary school, the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the relationship, as there have been about 100 cases of children's belongings being lost or scribbled three years before the teacher arrived.

Koichi Inoue (38), a teacher at Akiruno City Masudo Elementary School, was arrested.



According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, teacher Inoue is suspected of damaging property, saying that from May to June last year, the shoes of three children were hidden in lockers so that they could not be used.



The teacher was arrested last month for scribbling "Shine" on another child's disaster prevention hood, and when the Metropolitan Police Department searched the locker, the child's slippers were found.



In response to the investigation, he denied the charges that he had no idea, but he admitted that he had graffiti on the disaster prevention hood, and said, "I was dissatisfied with other teachers and did it for the sake of relief. I did something I didn't do. "
