A group of hard-working criminals specializing in fraud was arrested after working daily 12-hour shifts of crime that involved non-stop phone calls and no bathroom breaks while driving on the highway.
28-year-old Masato Omote, a gangster affiliated with the Sumiyoshi-kai, was arrested by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of making a false phone call to a woman in her 70s living in Saga Prefecture in an attempt to defraud her out of money.
The suspect reportedly lived in a tower apartment in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and was said to be living a “flashy lifestyle” as the head of a special fraud group. Masaki Ota (29 years old) and Toranosuke Nakagawa (26 years old), who are believed to be senior members of the group, were also arrested.
It is believed that the fraud group was involved in 50 cases causing damage amounted to about 94 million yen.
The group operated by making fraudulent calls from the highway to avoid being caught by the police. They worked from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and drove 12 hours a day on the highway while calling scam targets. They also didn’t stop for bathroom breaks and relieved themselves in the car.
Here’s a news report showing the arrest of the three individuals:
Why is there a 3D reenactment of them driving? LOL
Honestly, that’s a pretty impressive way to make tracking difficult. They probably kept doing it for too long and made calls too frequently.
It seems to be important that you have an exit strategy when it comes to a criminal enterprise. Use the crime money to go legit, then quit before you get caught.
So their phones ratted them out to the cops? How did they get tracked down?
Can someone explain to me what will happen?
Due to 1 in 10 death sentences being wrong, I understand that this is banned. I mean, can YOU imagen, someone break down your door and you are sentence to death… you are innocent
But what happens with this people?
They are caugh clearly without any mistake. So now…. they will stay for a while in prison… then they will have the crime record so no jobs… they aready did this, I mean, 12 hours a day????!!!! of course there is something very wrong in thir mind. There is no way this people will change thir life. Anime and games are beutiful because imposible is posible there. But not in real life.
So again, if death penalty is not ok (despite no question of wrong acusation), prison just make it worse. Wtf are we not facilitating towns where we put this people in there? No woman so there won’t be any r♥♥e, prostituion, multipling. And the best part, exactly because they are isolated, you don’t need to worry them “influenting” other vulnerable people, corruping others, and black mailing them.
Plus add a gps whatever to them, and look at that, you don’t need to follow them 24 hours, as long as they stay in said town acording to GPS (not prison camp, leave people freedom, don’t suffocate them, or else they will try to escape), you don’t need guard to keep an eye on them non stop (I’m talking about people who are not maniacts or mentally unstable), the criminals have a good degree of freedom. Plus, due to jobs, they can earn money. Includin adding bars, gambling, and so on and on. Because that’s the point, make that prison town a place thoes people want to stay, and that way we can isolate them without starting a mass murder.
But nope. It’s almost as if scammers, kidnnapers, drugdelers and more are “essential workers” for any contries society….
Only in japan? Lol
