Recruited for a “white job，” this shady part-time job involves robbers whose attitudes suddenly change and who drive the victim into a frightened state．
The serial robberies in Saitama Prefecture and Tokyo have raised the possibility that there may have been multiple masterminds. A person involved in the investigation pointed out, “It appears that the perpetrators of the attack received instructions from different people in succession.” The incident, which took place in Nishi Ward, Saitama City on September 18th, was carried out by a group of people recruited through an illegal part-time job. While dangling high salaries, the appeal was for “white jobs” that were not crime-related, such as “transporting luggage.” They were then instructed to use a highly confidential communications app and asked to send a photo of their ID to verify their identity. However, once he reunited with his “comrades” who had come together under similar circumstances, the attitude of the man believed to be the leader suddenly changed. The perpetrator was suddenly asked to carry out the robbery, and when he hesitated he was threatened, being told “we know your personal information” and “be prepared.” After the incident, the four alleged perpetrators were arrested without receiving any payment. Among the suspects arrested in connection with the series of serial robberies, some have reportedly stated that they “received instructions from various people in succession.” A source close to the investigation said, “The purpose is to make the perpetrator panic and rob them of their ability to make calm judgments. “The way they cornered him was clever,” he pointed out. “Instructions appear to have come from several sources, and the perpetrators were likely made to believe that there was an organization behind it, which led to fear,” he said. It is believed that there were three masterminds behind the widespread robberies carried out in 2022-2023, including those calling themselves “Luffy.” It is believed that the perpetrator had his smartphone on a call when he broke into the victim’s home and was receiving instructions from the mastermind. Some have pointed out that this behavior is an example of the person in charge “monitoring” the person who carried out the actions. In this latest series of robberies, the perpetrators received instructions via smartphone. According to the National Police Agency, a total of 93 cases of robbery, theft, and other crimes committed by “anonymous, mobile crime groups” (tokuryu) loosely linked through social networking sites were confirmed in 22 prefectures between September 2021 and September this year. A source close to the investigation said, “The perpetrators are just being used as pawns. We should not become involved lightly.” [Tsunetaro Adachi, Ayumu Iwasaki] Mainichi Shimbun 2024/10/7 20:01 (last updated 10/7 20:01).
>>7 No one would do that. Arson is a murder-level crime, so if someone sets a fire for this reason, the police will seriously investigate and won’t go after them. It’s just used as a threat. It’s not absolute, but there’s a big barrier between threats and the use of force. I think there’s a list of people who fall for this kind of thing.

>>22 It looks like something like that will come along soon, where the conditions are just slightly better. It’s scary to think that the leader of the company might say he’s working part-time as a mover, but as soon as he gets inside the house, he might suddenly change his attitude and become a home invasion robber.
They were forced to dispose of the bodies of criminals and slaughter cattle and horses, and were ridiculed and even discriminated against; they could be considered modern-day eta and hinin.
Even if they say they’re going to attack your house, they probably won’t come anyway, so just call the police and ask them to increase patrols around your house.
Before long, they won’t even call themselves delivery workers, and will make people think it’s a normal job by making them send their ID ahead for a daily wage of 10,000 yen, and then meet them at the destination to threaten them and make them commit crimes. Like, they’ll kill you if you don’t rob or deliver the goods.
