Chiba prefectural police are searching for a man who broke into an impounded car in the parking lot at the back of a police station in Yotsukaido.
According to police, the incident occurred on Oct 10 but only came to light on Oct 29, Sankei Shimbun reported. Surveillance camera footage showed a man cutting a hole in a one-meter-high wire fence. The man apparently searched the car, which had been covered with a blue sheet, and left.
Police did not say whether anything was missing from the car which had been impounded in connection with a drug possession case, but said something may have been hidden in the vehicle.

Doesn’t read like these police were routinely patrolling their own property.
- “a man who broke into an impounded car in the parking lot at the back of a police station …on Oct 10 but only came to light on Oct 29. Surveillance camera footage showed a man cutting a hole in a one-meter-high wire fence.”-
What else went on for 2.5 weeks with a 1m hole in the fence?

Something is askew: J police routinely work quickly, reviewing & acting on cctv footage *but not their own ***??**

Seems fair to now guess the prosecutors will now choose “not to prosecute” the drug possession case‘for unspecified reasons’ ?

That car can never be used as evidence then…..well, not in most countries.

He cut a hole in a one meter high fence! One meter? - reckon he got his stash and absconded with the evidence.

I have to give credit to this guy. He took a challenge, instead of just robbing old ladies or some such.

Yes, what a great conclusion, something may have hidden in it…really? I neither would never have come on this Einstein like idea, nor would have checked the car completely at daylight before leaving it there overnight for intruders. lol
