2 Teens Arrested Over Gold Bar Robbery in Tokyo The recent arrest of two 19 year old men in connection with the gold bar robbery in Tokyo has shed light on an unsettling aspect of Japanese society: loosely organized criminal groups operating beneath the radar.
These networks, known as "Tokuryu," have long been suspected of involvement in various forms of organized crime, including extortion, loan sharking, and violent offenses.
The victims of this incident were four men in their 40s and 50s who were sprayed with a tear gas like substance and punched by the suspects.
