The woman was identified by store staff, who recognized her from previous incidents where cigarettes were stolen using similar tactics. In these prior cases, she would request multiple cigarette packs, distract the cashier, and flee without paying. The staff alerted police as soon as she entered the store. She was later found and arrested near the store, admitting to the theft. Police are further investigating her involvement in previous cigarette thefts from the same supermarket. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.co.jp\/articles\/acf65bdf4fc5be25941044112f08f3a20f6ed3d1\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-166195\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fnn_cigarette-unsplash_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Woman Arrested in Kitakyushu for Attempted Cigarette Theft\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fnn_cigarette-unsplash_2024_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fnn_cigarette-unsplash_2024_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fnn_cigarette-unsplash_2024_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/fnn_cigarette-unsplash_2024_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo by<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Koa&#8217;link<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsplash<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
