A group of thieves have managed to successfully steal ¥600,000,000 (some $5,000,000) worth of gold bars by dressing up as friendly neighborhood policemen, a trick so old the only wonder is how anyone with anything worth stealing fell for it.
The incident took place earlier in 2016, when a group of men seeking a cash-for-gold store were stopped by the band of thieves dressed in police uniforms near a train station, robbing them of “about 100kg” of gold bars before then making their getaway by car.
The victims told police (the real ones) that they were attempting to profit off reselling various precious metals and had purchased the plethora of golden bars a day before the thieving, leading police to believe that the criminals had somehow known that the bars were going to be sold.
Whether police can track down the thieves – assuming the gold was not simply “lost” for tax or other reasons, if there was any in the first place – remains to be seen.

They could easily just melt the gold down and reshape into less obvious bars. I mean, how would this shop know if those belonged to them if they were melted down? Gold is gold right? Could be anyones. It’d be easier for them to resell.
gold is usually marked with something in the gold that can be traced. but melt it sown into coins and sell them
Damn, I thought they where going to be dressed as Lupid the III characters!
I think people who carried 100 kilos of gold on them are definitely more suspicious than people who dressed up as policemen. If the latter even happened.
100kg of Gold sounds like much but it’s actually just the size of 2 footballs. Gold is incredibly dense.
Yes, but you still don’t:
1. Walk around with 5 million worth of precious metals
2. Walk around carrying 100 kg of anything
