A 49-year-old part-time worker at a convenience store in Kanzaki, Saga Prefecture, has been arrested on suspicion of stealing 2 million yen from the store, police said Sunday.
According to police, a customer came into the store at around 4:50 a.m. Saturday and thought it odd that there were no employees. The customer called police who subsequently learned that 2 million yen in cash had been taken from the register and the office safe.
An alert was issued for Katsuya Ishihara, the employee who was supposed to be on duty overnight, and he was detained with the money in his possession in a car parking lot in Kurume, Fukuoka Prefecture, later Saturday morning.

"That sounds like a stellar plan!" said no one!

Brilliant plan. I am surprised he got caught but that will not deter me from trying this for my next caper.

Steal money on camera, drive past all those cameras and have the money in his pocket? How about hiding it and saying you got suddenly sick?

I'm surprised the cops found him in a parking lot in another prefecture.

What I find odd is that the customer calling the cops when nobody was manning the store.
