In late August, a 56-year-old Kitakyushu city employee chased down and caught a man who had stolen two luxury handbags from Izutsuya department store. He was alerted by his 20-year-old daughter, who noticed the theft while they were shopping for her coming-of-age gift. Police have commended the man for his quick response, crediting the daughter’s sharp observation for helping secure the arrest. Source: RKB / NHK
