05.12.2025 โข The Day Dark Part-Time Robbery Masterminds Were Arrested
โจJapanese media extensively reported on the arrest of four individuals suspected of being the masterminds behind a series of "dark part-time" robberies in the Tokyo metropolitan area. Early morning headlines across multiple outlets highlighted the apprehension, with later reports detailing the use of smartphone analysis to identify the suspects and a victim's harrowing 20-hour ordeal. This development marks a significant progression in the ongoing investigation into these violent home invasions. Concurrently, discussions continued regarding defense financing, with the government and ruling party considering an income tax increase from 2027 to fund defense spending, a shift from previous stances. Also prominent were reports of China deploying over 100 naval vessels in East Asian waters, reportedly in response to Japan's Prime Minister Takaichi's remarks on Taiwan, prompting concern from Taiwanese authorities.
