A man robbed a pachinko parlor of 8.82 million yen in Sakuragawa, Ibaraki Prefecture, on Monday morning.
According to police, two male employees in their 30s had locked up at around 2:50 a.m. when a man accosted them outside and threatened them with a knife. He ordered them back inside and told them to open the safe.
The intruder then bound the two employees’ hands and feet with vinyl tape and fled with the cash. The employees were not hurt.
The robber is described as being about 180-190 cms tall, in his 20s, and was wearing a long sleeved black shirt and black pants. He also had a rucksack.

Hey buddy, can you NOT attack me or call the police while I tie up your friend here?
After that I'll tie you up as well, then no one has to get hut.
That would be great, thanks!

why not arm the employees? who knows what kind of human refuse is at pachinko places?

One guy with a knife was able to bind the hands and feet of two guys? Was he holding the knife in his mouth? It sounds like a three-way split to me.

Guess he was from the tax office.

Nine million yen! Wow! A big loss for North Korea!

Apologies, I'll work on it!
Agreed, especially if it's not your money.

You are too progressive with your obvious questions.;)
9 millions yens, not worth the knife assault.

How about his hairstyle? Any facial hair? Other identifying features such as scars?
Why isn't it a time-lock safe?
