Two men steal Y210 million

Two men stole about 210 million yen from a cash-transporting vehicle Wednesday after pointing a handgun-like object at a security guard at a Japan Agricultural Cooperatives office in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, police said.

Mie prefectural police said the two men snatched two bags stuffed with cash when the guard was unloading them from the vehicle at a service entrance of the JA office building in the central Japan city. The guard was not injured and the men got away in a white car.

The guard was carrying a total of about 360 million yen in cash divided into four orange bags. The two suspects, wearing black baseball caps and sunglasses, appeared to be 170 to 180 centimeters in height.

Police are investigating whether the incident is connected with a robbery that took place at a consumer loan outlet in the same city on Dec. 24 last year. Two male suspects robbed the outlet of about 4 million yen.
