Tokyo, 3 December, /AJMEDIA/
Three British men have been detained over their alleged involvement in a 2015 robbery that netted over 100 million yen ($742,000) worth of jewelry from a luxury shop in central Tokyo, an investigative source said Saturday.
The three left Japan two days after the heist and were put on an international wanted listed by Japanese police through Interpol.
The men are suspected of taking 46 pieces of jewelry, including rings and pendants, after punching a male security guard and breaking display cases at Harry Winston’s shop in the Omotesando Hills commercial complex in Shibuya Ward on the night of Nov. 20, 2015.
The source said whether they will be transferred to Japan is being discussed in Britain.
