A 40-year-old woman in Fukuoka, Japan, was arrested for damaging a bun at a Lawson convenience store and refusing to pay for it. The incident led to a chase by the store owner over a kilometer before the woman was apprehended.
A woman in Fukuoka, Japan , was arrested on February 10th for allegedly damaging a bun at a Lawson convenience store and refusing to pay for it. According to BBC News , the 40-year-old woman touched four black sesame and cream cheese buns, squishing one with her right thumb while leaving the wrapper intact. Authorities in Fukuoka confirmed to the BBC that she was arrested for 'criminal damage'. When asked to return to the store and pay for the bun, which cost around 180 yen (S$1.
50), the woman reportedly refused. This prompted the store owner to chase her down for a kilometer before restraining her. Japanese police added that the store owner had previously witnessed the same woman damaging buns multiple times. According to RKB Mainichi Broadcasting, the woman told police: 'I didn't crush the bread being sold, I just lightly pressed it with my hand to check its hardness.' This incident is not unique in Japan, as food tampering has been a recurring issue. Earlier that month, a sushi chain in Gifu prefecture filed a police complaint after a video circulated on social media showing a man engaging in disturbing behavior. The video depicted the man licking teacups and the mouth of a soy sauce bottle intended for sharing, as well as putting his saliva on a dish of sushi before it was served to another customer
