Security cameras near the site of an attempted robbery and murder in Hiroshima, one of a series of robberies that have sprung up across the country, showed images of two suspects who were arrested in another case in Tokyo. It turned out that a person was in the picture.
The police believe that the Hiroshima incident was ordered by a person who called himself "Luffy", and are investigating the fact that he repeatedly committed crimes while changing members within the group.
Among the series of wide-area robberies, on December 21 last year, cash equivalent to 24 million yen was stolen from a high-end wristwatch store in Hiroshima City, where the male owner was hit on the head and fell unconscious. I'm here.
On the 3rd, the police arrested four suspects aged 18 to 27 living in Saitama Prefecture and others on suspicion of attempted robbery and murder, and transferred them to the police station in Hiroshima City by the 4th.
The police believe that four other people are involved, but nearby security cameras show two people arrested this year for another robbery injury that occurred in Nakano-ku, Tokyo half a month ago. Interviews with investigative officials revealed that a person very similar to the suspect was photographed.
Regarding the Hiroshima incident, the police authorities suspect that a person calling himself "Luffy" gave instructions.
In addition to using multiple rental cars, there are common points with other incidents, such as a cable tie being dropped at the scene.
Police have not released the identity of the four arrested.
