There have been 117 reports of suspicious people claiming to be roof repairmen or similar in just two weeks... a sharp increase in Yamanashi Prefecture, possibly linked to illegal part-time job robberies.
Amid a series of robberies committed by “illegal part-time workers” in the Tokyo metropolitan area, an interview with the Yamanashi Prefectural Police revealed that between October 11 and 25, there were a total of 117 reports of suspicious people claiming to be roof repairmen or precious metal buyers in Yamanashi Prefecture. There is also information that suspicious individuals had been visiting the area near the scene of the robbery-murder that took place in Yokohama City prior to the incident, and the prefectural police are stepping up their vigilance, as they believe that the incidents may be related to the “illegal part-time job” incident.

Well, it’s probably just cold calling, but since it’s been linked to illegal part-time work, it might not be possible anymore. I’m sure they’ll not only turn you away, but they’ll probably call the police.

He was dressed as a worker and had come to work on a new building in the neighborhood when someone happened to find him. Using technical terms, they say that something on the tile is peeling off or out of place. Some people said that the work site was so high up that they could see onto our roofs. Of course, there are no new construction sites nearby. In severe cases, they threaten to say that the eaves are sticking out. I’m sure there will be some trouble, but I just thanked him for letting me know and sent him home.
Since the family who requested the job are wealthy, the list will probably be sold to the underworld. If you see a walk-in, you’re right to assume it’s an illegal job.
