The presidents of a remodeling company in Yokohama City were arrested for deceiving 1.4 million yen from a woman in her 80s in the name of construction costs, saying that the earthquake resistance of the roof has declined.

The police are investigating the actual situation, assuming that they had sold 150 million yen by the same method.

Three people were arrested, including Kenta Shida (35), the president of Seibu Sumiken, a remodeling company in Minami-ku, Yokohama, and a former employee.



According to the police, in September, an 86-year-old woman living in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture, told a lie that "the timber in the attic is cracked and the seismic strength is reduced", and 1.4 million in the name of the construction cost. There are suspicions such as fraud for deceiving the yen.



The woman lives alone, and President Shida and his colleagues called to "inspect the roof for free" before visiting, but when the police asked an expert to investigate, no construction was required. It means that.



In response to the investigation, the president admits the suspicion.



The police also said that they would inspect termites and lied that there was a problem with the earthquake resistance under the floor. They sold 150 million yen in the same way, mainly in the Tokyo metropolitan area. I'm investigating the actual situation of sales.
