The incident occurred on April 16 around 6 p.m. The woman, a 30-year-old occupational therapist, was monitoring a pet camera from a friend\u2019s home when she saw the suspect searching her room. She immediately contacted police.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The suspect, Riku Ichihashi, noticed the camera and fled without taking anything. Upon reviewing the footage, police identified Ichihashi, who works at the same hospital as the victim. He admitted to entering the room but denied intent to steal, stating he only looked at or touched the items. Authorities also found that Ichihashi had made a duplicate key after memorizing the woman\u2019s door code. Police are investigating his motives and the full scope of the incident.<\/span><b> Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/kbc.co.jp\/news\/article.php?id=15029690&amp;ymd=2025-04-22\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KBC<\/span><\/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\/2025\/04\/fnn_pet-camera_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-170674\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_pet-camera_2025_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_pet-camera_2025_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_pet-camera_2025_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/fnn_pet-camera_2025_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Image for image purpose only<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
