TOKYO (TR) –  Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested two bar hosts in the theft of a safe containing 38 million yen from a female acquaintance living in the capital, reports the Sankei Shimbun (Oct. 18).

Early on April 26, Masahiro Fukunaga, 33, and Sho Kawana, 28, allegedly gained access to the woman’s residence, located in an apartment building in Nerima Ward, by using a crowbar to pry open the front door and stole a safe containing about 38 million yen in cash and bank books.
