disguised as a traffic policeman
today tricked four bank em
ployes out of $816,667 in
Christmas bonus money and
used their automobile to get
away with what police called
the greatest highway robbery in
Japanese history.
Not a shot was fired nor a
threat made in the robbery on a
narrow road behind Tokyo's
Fuchu prison.
The bandit, wearing the white
helmet and black leather jacket
of a traffic officer, rode a stolen
white motorbike up to a bank
car carrying the bonus money
for employes of the Toshiba
Electric Co. He told the bank
men he had Information dyna
mite was planted in the car.
When the tour got out, the
bandit got in and drove away
with the car and three metal
boxes full of banknotes with
unrecorded serial numbers.
"He looked just like a
policeman," said Eiji Nakada,
the driver of the auto. "When
we got to the road near the
prison, the robber told us to
stop. He said he had instruc
tions from Koganei police
station.”
"We were really surprised
when he said some explosive
was planted in the car.
Carrying a flashlight, he told us
to get out of the automobile,”
Nakada said.
The bandit bent for a moment
8
over the car floorboard. The
bank men said they figured he
was looking for dynamite. The
bandit suddenly bopped behind
tne wheel and roared away.
”We thought he was trying to
put distance between our car
and other cars to minimize the
danger of the explosion,” one of
the victims said. “Seconds later
the car picked up speed and
soon disappeared from our
sight.”
The four bank employes were
left standing in a rain as the
bandit sped away.
