5 Japanese Men Break into Chinese Couple’s Apartment, Chinese Man Fights Back and Injures One of the Robbers

On March 21 at approximately 9:30 am, a group of five men forcibly entered an apartment on the 9th floor of a building in Toyoshima, Tokyo. Three of the perpetrators were disguised in work uniforms, posing as gas company employees, before revealing their true intent and brandishing knives to rob the inhabitants of the apartment. The traumatizing incident has left the victims shaken and the police are currently investigating the case, in hopes of finding the four suspects who managed to escape.

As reported by Global Times, all of the robbers involved in the crime were Japanese nationals. During the robbery, two Chinese citizens, a man in his 40s and a woman in her 30s, were present inside the apartment. The man, who was the president of a company, and the woman, an employee of the same company, were left deeply traumatized by the experience. It’s a harrowing reminder of the danger that can lurk in even the most seemingly safe neighborhoods.

When the robbers knocked on the door, the male Chinese resident fought back against one of the robbers, who was in his 20s, and ended up injuring him with a knife. The resident’s quick thinking and bravery was commendable, as he put himself in harm’s way to protect himself and his female companion. After the struggle, the male resident and the woman were both overpowered and bound by the robbers, who showed a complete lack of empathy and morality.

Fortunately, both of them survived the ordeal, with the man suffering only minor injuries and the woman escaping unharmed. However, the psychological scars of the traumatic experience may linger for some time, especially for the woman who was forced to witness the violence and brutality of the robbers.

The four robbers who were not injured ransacked the apartment and stole 1 million yen in cash, four bank passbooks, and a few mobile phones before fleeing the scene. The amount of cash stolen indicates that the robbery was a premeditated and well-planned operation, with the robbers targeting the victims specifically for their wealth. The female victim stated that the criminals remained in the apartment for two hours, which suggests that they had ample time to carry out their heinous crimes.

The elevator camera captured three robbers wearing gas company uniforms and two robbers not wearing uniforms. This information can be useful in identifying the criminals and bringing them to justice. However, it is also concerning that the robbers were able to obtain uniforms and pass themselves off as employees of a legitimate company, highlighting the need for increased security measures and vigilance in the community.

According to eyewitnesses, the incident occurred at around 10 PM when a group of robbers broke into an apartment building in the heart of the city. The robbers were heavily armed and took the residents by surprise. They demanded money and valuables from the residents and threatened to harm them if they did not comply. The residents were in a state of panic and some even tried to fight back, but the robbers overpowered them with force.

About two hours after the incident, a man and a woman were seen waving what looked like towels on the balcony of the apartment. They were shouting “Call the police!” and “Help!” to passersby on the street. Some people initially thought it was a prank, but the man’s incessant screaming eventually prompted some to call the police. The authorities arrived five minutes later and found the injured robber lying on the ground with a bleeding neck. He was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead upon arrival.

The latest reports from Japanese media suggest that the robbers were likely scouting the building in the rented car that was seen parked on the street below the day before the robbery. It is believed that the robbers spent several days planning the robbery and were well-prepared for any potential obstacles that may have arisen.

This incident is a stark reminder of the importance of personal safety and the need to be vigilant against potential criminal threats. We hope the authorities will bring the culprits to justice and prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. It is also important for residents to be aware of their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity to the authorities immediately. By working together, we can ensure that our communities remain safe and secure for everyone.
