A police sergeant has been arrested for allegedly stealing money from a police station in Oji, Tokyo.
The 34-year-old officer, a sergeant in the Community Safety Department, is suspected of having stolen around 240,000 yen from a locker in the station. The money was given to the station by a voluntary group working to reduce juvenile crime, TV Asahi reported.
According to police, the amount of money in the locker decreased three times since October last year at intervals that coincided with the sergeant's shifts. When questioned by his superiors about the correlation, he reportedly confessed to having stolen the money. (Japan Today)
