Shortly after her arrest, she was captured by our magazine&#8217;s cameraman. She was dressed in tight gray pants and a pure white shirt. Covering her face with both hands and wearing black glasses, she was led by investigators into the police station.
By September 10, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police&#8217;s First Investigation Division arrested 27-year-old Chisato Iwakiri, a resident of Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, on suspicion of trafficking stolen goods. She is alleged to have participated in a criminal group through social media and to have resold luxury items stolen during a robbery.
 
&#8220;The resold item is a luxury Rolex watch. Chisato Iwakiri is suspected of reselling the Rolex, which was stolen during a &#8216;dark job&#8217; robbery, for about 900,000 yen at a pawn shop in Adachi Ward, Tokyo, on April 19. In response to police inquiries, Iwakiri admitted, &#8216;It’s true that I sold it, but I didn’t know it was stolen,&#8217; denying part of the allegations&#8221; (National newspaper social affairs reporter).
The shocking &#8216;dark job&#8217; robbery occurred around 3:30 AM on April 1, about a half-month before Iwakiri sold the Rolex. Multiple men armed with hammers invaded a pawn shop operating late at night in Kabukicho, Shinjuku Ward. They smashed the display cases and stole a total of 87 items, including luxury Louis Vuitton wallets and precious metals, valued at approximately 38 million yen. There were three customers and employees in the store, but they escaped without injuries.
&nbsp;
<h2>Bosozoku gang members may be involved.</h2>
“At the same time as Iwakiri&#8217;s arrest, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police&#8217;s First Investigation Division arrested three men under 20 on suspicion of robbery and breaking and entering. They are believed to be recruiters for the “dark job” robbery, soliciting accomplices on social media with messages like, “Are you interested in a hit (robbery)?” All three are members of the bosozoku gang &#8217;88 Family,&#8217; active mainly in Yashio City, Saitama Prefecture. The police suspect that there are anti-social forces behind the &#8217;88 Family.&#8217;
Several men, aged from their teens to 40s, who responded to the social media invitations have already been arrested. They are said to have taken on roles in carrying out the robberies and transporting stolen goods. One of the arrested men stated to the police, &#8216;I was in need of money. I needed living expenses.&#8217; It’s reported that, like Iwakiri, he resold a Rolex at a pawn shop for about 1.2 million yen, receiving a commission of around 10 percent” (same source).
If you apply for the invitation to a “dark job” robbery with an easygoing attitude, a tragic outcome awaits.
“The social media posts for ‘dark job’ robberies promise attractive conditions like ‘10 million yen reward for a hit’ and ‘1 million yen daily pay.’ Tempted by these offers, applicants are required to send images of identification documents with their photos, such as driver’s licenses. However, once they send the images, they receive messages implying, ‘If you run away, you’ll be in serious trouble.’
Applicants who are instructed to disclose their family structure may find it difficult to back out due to fear of harm coming to their relatives. In fact, there are perpetrators who have stated after their arrest, ‘Suddenly an unfamiliar man visited my home’ and ‘I felt like I was being watched.’ They expressed that they had ‘fallen into a terrifying organization.”
Once you get involved in crime, it&#8217;s nearly impossible to escape. In some cases, not only are the initial conditions broken, but individuals are made to work for free without receiving even a single yen in reward. By the time you regret it after being arrested, it will be too late. You should never respond to such sweet invitations.
