The group allegedly lured a 52-year-old man through social media on June 28 in Higashi Ward, pretending the girl was an 18-year-old graduate. When the man waited in his car, the two boys entered, assaulted him, and stole \u00a510,000, causing facial injuries requiring two weeks of recovery. The suspects were identified through security footage. Two of the teens partially denied intent to rob, while the girl declined to comment. Police believe the three conspired in a \u201choney trap\u201d scheme. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/news.tnc.co.jp\/news\/articles\/NID2025103027808\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TNC<\/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-174000\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_honey-trap_2025_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Three Teens Arrested Over Alleged Honey Trap Robbery\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_honey-trap_2025_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_honey-trap_2025_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_honey-trap_2025_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/fnn_honey-trap_2025_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Photo: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI illustration<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
