Fukuoka Prefectural Police arrested six teenagers aged 15 to 17 from Kitakyushu’s Kokuraminami Ward on suspicion of robbery resulting in injury. Investigators said the group lured a 34-year-old man through social media, assaulted him on a street in October, and stole a wallet containing about ¥35,000. The man had gone to meet a woman he connected with online when he was surrounded and pressured to hand over money. All six suspects admitted to the allegations. Police are investigating the case as a possible honey-trap scheme. Source: KBC
