Worker arrested for stealing golf club heads at Tokyo airport

A Vietnamese man has been arrested for allegedly stealing golf club heads while sorting check-in luggage as a worker at Tokyo's Haneda airport, police said Monday.

Japan used to be safe country and suddenly.

Times are a changing!

sorting baggage is technical training? i guess they don’t sort baggage in vietnam.

A silly comment just about golf club heads being stolen as if this crime doesn't happen in other countries.

Japan is considered a safe country if you use common sense.

Well, you can always go back home if Japan is too dangerous for you.

I commend JT for choosing not to make the suspect's nationality a major point in the article.

I sent an email urging more care in reporting on the nationality of suspects in line with international ethical journalistic standards, and they seem to have taken this seriously. Bravo.

The next step would be to consider not including nationality at all unless it is essential to the content of the report. In this case, it's hard to see how the nationality of the suspects is relevant.

What does everybody want!?!??

What does everybody need!?!?

Dang. Same nationality, again. How come?

Fuji News Network (FNN) released this video last week on customs at the airports, as part of their しらべてみたら series, and one case really stands out in the video (minute 9:10).

His nationality was really critical yet the company he works for was completely irrelevant.

Yes, very discrete, carrying 4-5 humungous boxes. Not drawing any attention. I don't even know how he manages to take that much - my airline tickets usually only allow me to carry one suitcase.
