Osaka men who were called “changing shops” were arrested for selling illegally crafted cars, such as changing body numbers to former gangsters. While it is difficult to buy a car due to the flow of gangster exclusion, the police are investigating that they have repeatedly sold robbers to stolen cars and cars that they did not know.
Arrested by a group of four people, including Susumu Kobayashi (48), who was arrested in Naniwa-ku, Osaka.
According to investigators, in June, there was a suspicion of theft for stealing a passenger car from an apartment parking lot in Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka.
Four of Kobayashi's suspects, who were called “changers” among friends, were carrying out illegal work by bringing stolen cars to the bases of Osaka and Matsubara, called “yards”.
Apart from the stolen car, it is believed that the accident car was purchased at a cheap price at an online auction, etc., and the car number was cut off and “replaced” with the stolen car.
In addition, he applied for a lie to the Transportation Bureau, such as “I lost the license plate” and installed a new plate, which was an illegal work that was difficult to understand as a stolen car.
While it was difficult for the police to buy a regular car due to the flow of exclusion of gangsters, the police assumed that they were repeatedly selling illegally at least dozens of cars at the request of gangsters. We are working to elucidate the actual situation, such as searching for the headquarters office of the designated group of gangs in the city of Osaka, East Group.

According to investigators, Kobayashi's group was systematically selling stolen cars to gangsters.
Yuichi Nishioka, president of Sankyo Motors, an automobile maintenance company in Osaka and Naniwa-ku, who is familiar with car theft, pointed out, "Many cars have been found that have recently been forged or have different body numbers." To do.
The car body number at the foot of the driver's seat is an inscription that corresponds to the car identification number. The police investigates the car body number and investigates whether it is a stolen car, but according to President Nishioka, it is difficult to determine whether the car is stolen or not.
A lot of stolen cars with specially crafted car body numbers were exported to overseas. President Nishioka said, “Recently, customs checks have become stricter and are being distributed domestically. I think it is sold to the general public. "
