Last month, a suspect in his 20s who was arrested in a separate case was suspected of being involved in a robbery and injury case at a post office in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, according to interviews with investigators. The police plan to re-arrest him on suspicion of robbery and injury on the 16th.
On the 16th of last month, a man with a knife broke into the Kawaguchi Namiki Post Office in Kawaguchi City, slashed two staff members, seriously injured them, robbed them of about 2,5 yen in cash, and fled.
The police were investigating the robbery and injury case, including analyzing security camera footage, but according to those involved in the investigation, the subsequent investigation revealed that a 27-year-old suspect living in Tokyo, who was arrested in another theft case that occurred in the city, was suspected of being involved in the incident.
In the investigation so far, a knife case was found near the post office at the site, but when I searched my home, I found a knife that matched this case.
The police re-arrested him on suspicion of robbery and injury on the 16th and will investigate the circumstances of the incident.
