Tokyo, Sept. 28 (CNA) Two men from Taiwan were arrested in Japan Wednesday on charges of break-
in and theft, according to news reports by Japanese media outlets including NHK.
The suspects, identified as Wu Chun-chih (吳純智), 45, and 53-year-old Wei Tien-chin (魏鈿晉), were involved in a break-in and theft case in Tokyo’s Shinjuku district in May, the reports said, citing the Metropolitan Police Department of Tokyo.
