On the 19th, a 90-year-old woman living in a house in Komae, Tokyo was found dead with her hands tied.

The discovery was triggered by information from the Chiba Prefectural Police that "this house is being targeted by robbers", but this information surfaced during the investigation of another robbery injury case that occurred in Chiba Prefecture. This is what I learned from interviews with investigators.

In the Kanto region, there have been a series of robbery and injury incidents by a group of three this month, and the Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the relationship with this incident.

On the evening of the 19th, in a house in Komaicho, Komae City, a resident, Iyo Oshio (90), was found dead with his hands tied and bleeding from his face. We are investigating as a robbery-murder case because there were traces of being hunted.



It is known that the incident was discovered on the afternoon of the 19th when a police officer from the Metropolitan Police Department visited the scene after receiving information from the Chiba Prefectural Police that ``this house may be being targeted by robbers.''



This information was revealed during the investigation of the robbery injury incident that occurred at a recycle shop in Oamishirasato City, Chiba Prefecture on the 12th of this month.



It is said that there was information about the house in Komae City in the cell phone data of the person concerned who surfaced on the investigation line.



The Chiba incident is believed to have been committed by a trio, and in the Kanto region this month, in Ibaraki and Kanagawa, there have been a series of robbery and injury cases in which a trio with knives broke into a house and robbed them of cash. Police are investigating any links to this incident.

The trigger was information from the Chiba Prefectural Police

The discovery of a robbery-murder case in Komae, Tokyo was provided by the Chiba Prefectural Police.



While there have been a series of robbery injuries in the Kanto region since the beginning of this year, in Chiba Prefecture, on the 12th of this month, there was a robbery injury incident in which a group of three people broke into a recycle shop in Oamishirasato City.



According to investigative sources, a mobile phone confiscated from a person believed to be involved in the incident was found to contain information about the house in Komae where the robbery and murder occurred.



For this reason, the Chiba Prefectural Police provided information to the Metropolitan Police Department on the 19th, saying, ``The house in Komae is being targeted by robbers.''
