Police in Tokyo have arrested at 33-year-old game arcade manager for fraudulent obstruction of business after he phoned in a false report, claiming the center had been robbed.
According to police, Keisuke Nakamura called 110 at around 8:15 a.m. on Wednesday and claimed the arcade had been robbed of 2 million yen, Fuji TV reported. When police arrived, Nakamura said that a group of three men had forced their way into the arcade’s office, tied his arms behind his back and stole 2 million yen from the safe.
However, video footage from a surveillance camera placed at the office’s entrance did not reveal any group of men entering the office.
When police questioned Nakamura further, he admitted his report of a robbery was false. He said the books didn’t balance and he thought he would blame it on a robbery.

Seems that you don't have to be very bright to be a games arcade manager.

So, he diddled the till for 20 grand and came up with this idea to cover it? He would have been better off saying he lost it on the way to the bank.
DAaron
So this arcade manager was unaware that surveillance cameras were recording events on premises or just too stupid to consider it.
