Under these circumstances, a meeting was held on the 23rd that brought together the chiefs of police stations under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and Inspector General of Police Hiroshi Kojima instructed, "Although some suspects have already been arrested, the occurrence of heinous and despicable crimes is a cause for fear in Tokyo, and measures should not be relaxed in the slightest."
In addition, in response to the fact that criminal groups are recruiting "black bites" to attract perpetrators, we requested that schools and businesses cooperate with schools and businesses to promote efforts to raise awareness of the dangers so as not to create new perpetrators who are misled by high rewards.
