TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested a Chinese national for allegedly ordering a burglary in the capital, reports Fuji News Network (March 28).
According to the Mukojima Police Station, Kakan Ou, 26, allegedly ordered a 19-year-old boy, also Chinese, and a third suspect to break into the residence of a woman in her 60s in Sumida Ward on March 13.
During the incident, the two perpetrators attacked the woman, resulting in broken bones to her chest and other injuries that will require one month to heal.
