The real crime here is that he didn't steal any of their delicious donuts. ; ) Glad to hear that the girl didn't get hurt!

Good timing on his part? Or did he do some surveillance first?

He must have been hungry and strapped for cash! I bet the J-cops spent a lot of time at this crime scene collect any evidence,such as pon de rings and old fashioned and my favorite french cruller

You're mistaking the J Cops for the American police ;)

Why was there that much money in the safe at such an early hour? Don't they do nightly deposits after the store closes? And how did this "staff member" know the combination to the safe? Was she a manager? I worked in fast food restaurants when I was young and the only ones who ever knew the safe combinations were the managers and owner.

@Kariharuka Cops in general are quite fond of donuts and coffee,not because it's is cliche or funny but because it provides sugar and Caffeine.

I'm getting tired of hearing about all these robberies committed with knives. Perhaps up the punishment for robbery using a knife to cutting off a finger or toe with a knife as well as 10 years in prison and a hefty fine?

450,000 yen from a Mister Donut safe, eh? If he'd robbed a Krispy Kreme, I guess he would have gotten around a million yen, lol.

I love Mr. Donuts! What a Scrooge! Armed robbery? Serious time for that. No donuts for him - for life!
