Three men broke into a house in Isesaki, Gunma Prefecture, and robbed a couple early Saturday morning.
According to police, a 76-year-old man and his 72-year-old wife were asleep in their bedroom on the second floor when they were woken up, gagged and tied up with something like a power cord, TV Asahi reported.
The man told police the intruders, all wearing balaclavas, said "money, money" in broken Japanese. After ransacking the room, they took cash, a cell phone and other items and fled.
The man was able to free himself and call 110 at around 3:50 a.m. Neither he nor his wife were injured.

Gumma-Ken is a dangerous area. There are lots of foreign workers stealing cars and car spare parts. There should be more patrolling during the night.
