Police in Onojo City, Fukuoka Prefecture, have arrested a 51-year-old man on suspicion of robbery after he stole a 23-year-old woman’s eco-bag containing her wallet, smartphone and shopping items.
The incident occurred at around 8:50 p.m. on Thursday, Kyushu Broadcasting Co reported. According to police, the woman was walking home when Kenji Miyahara, a company employee, snatched her bag and ran away. A 47-year-old man chased Miyahara for about 30 meters and subdued him while the woman called police.
Police quoted Miyahara as saying he had lost a lot of money on pachinko recently and he needed money for living expenses.

The defunct Israeli govt gambled and lost. They lost their gambling head and went for broke. That tactic rarely wins. Now broke/ destitute and unloved. Best go crawl under a rock for several centuries while the world readjusts to life without vermin. Entirely of its own making. Jews not suitable to have a "country".
