It has been found that there has been a rapid increase in the number of information provided regarding a suspect wanted for a robbery and injury incident that occurred 11 years ago in Yamanashi Prefecture.

A suspect believed to be Satoshi Kirishima, who had been wanted for more than 40 years, surfaced last month, and this is likely due to increased interest in the wanted person, and police are appealing for as much information as possible.

Yudai Miyauchi (48), a native of Nagano Prefecture, is wanted nationwide on suspicion of robbery causing bodily harm for allegedly injuring a person and stealing cash at a residence in Yamanashi City in 2013.



The suspect was arrested immediately after the incident, but at the police station where he was transferred, he managed to escape from the police.



In the one month period up to the 22nd of this month, we have received 11 reports of information about this suspect, such as ``I saw someone who looked like him at the hospital'' and ``People who looked like him often visit restaurants.'' An interview with the police revealed that the number of cases has increased sharply to about one-third of last year.



Since the 26th of last month, the existence of a person claiming to be Satoshi Kirishima (70), a member of the East Asia Anti-Japanese Armed Front, who was wanted for his involvement in one of the serial corporate bombings in the 1970s, has come to light. Yamanashi Prefectural Police believe that this may have triggered increased interest in the wanted suspect.



Although a total of 496 pieces of information have been received in the 11 years since his escape, no arrests have been made, and police are appealing for as many pieces of information as possible, including rumors and fragments. Masu.
