A 22-year-old man was arrested for theft on Sunday, accused of stealing a bag containing roughly 140,000 yen from the living room of a home in Fukuoka City. The suspect was apprehended by the home owner’s 84-year-old mother.
Police said Katsunori Kuruhara, 22, an unemployed resident of Fukuoka City, is accused of entering the home at around 10.30 a.m. Sunday morning, taking the bag from the living room. He was on his way out of the home, when Kimiko Nagamitsu, 84, stopped him in the kitchen.
Kuruhara was carrying an iron bar, and told Nagamitsu he was selling them, but she wouldn’t have a bar of it, grabbed both his arms and took him outside. Her 27-year-old granddaughter, who was in her bedroom on the second floor, heard the commotion and called police. Kuruhara was arrested at the scene and admitted to the allegations, police said.
Police said Nagamitsu, who is only 144 centimeters tall, was not injured in the incident. She was quoted as saying: “I wasn’t scared. I thought he might come back, or rob someone else, so I thought I’d better stop him.”
