The National Police Agency (NPA) held a meeting of police officers from 11 prefectures in Tokyo and 2 prefectures who were suspected of being related to the series of robberies that have been occurring all over the country. .

In this, Director Watanabe said, ``The series of incidents has a direct and significant impact on the public's perception of public security, so I would like to point out two points. To clarify, many perpetrators have been arrested so far, but it is necessary to clarify and arrest the remaining perpetrators and high-ranking suspects, especially the mastermind. I would like the divisions involved in robbery, theft, and special fraud to work together to collect and analyze relevant information that transcends barriers to thoroughly arrest criminal groups. Anxiety is rising, and the true value of police investigations is being questioned.I would like the relevant police to work together to promote a strong investigation."
