TOKYO (TR) – A video provided by Fuji News Network (Feb. 16) shows the aftermath of a series of hit-and-run incidents involving an American male and a stolen truck.
Tokyo Metropolitan Police on Monday arrested the American man, aged in his 40s, in connection with repeated hit-and-run incidents involving the stolen truck on February 14.
After the truck stolen was stolen from Marunouchi, Chiyoda Ward, it collided with a car in Bunkyo Ward.
