A 37-year-old Malaysian National was arrested for defrauding a 70-year-old woman out of 20 million yen in cash in Shirakawa City.
The Malaysian man conspired with accomplices, calling the home of the woman and pretending to be a police officer, saying things like, “We arrested a gang member in a drug trafficking case, and when we searched the office, a bankbook under your name was found,” and “We are investigating you as an accomplice, and need to check the serial numbers of your bank notes.”
Following instructions given by the Malaysian, victim withdrew money from the bank and placed it in a paper bag under her own car.
