What seemed like an easy score quickly turned sour for the thief when the courageous victim shouted &#8220;Thief!&#8221;, alerting nearby passersby to the crime. A fearless duo \u2013 a 31-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman \u2013 sprang into action, chasing the suspect. Like a scene from a crime drama, they apprehended the would-be criminal, foiling his plans and returning the stolen handbag, which contained a hefty 550,000 yen, to its rightful owner. The culprit, a 48-year-old unemployed man without a fixed address, has admitted to the crime. Fukuoka City residents can be proud of these valiant citizens who fearlessly jumped into action. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=10070489&amp;ymd=2023-04-27\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">KBC<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fnn_thief-news_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C919&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka&#039;s Fearless Duo Foils Handbag Heist!\" width=\"1024\" height=\"919\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-153227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fnn_thief-news_2023_cl.jpg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fnn_thief-news_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C269&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/fnn_thief-news_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C689&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
