Tokyo police rearrested Monday two 25-year-old men on charges of injuring and robbing a woman in her 60s at her house in a western Tokyo suburb in September.
According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's First Criminal Investigation Division, Kiyotaka Sato and Rikiya Morita are suspected of breaking into the house in Kokubunji around 4 a.m. on Sept. 30 by smashing a window, and stealing about ¥5.5 million in cash and 14 items worth some ¥8,000 after tying down and beating the woman. She suffered injuries that could take three months to fully heal, including bone fractures on her left arm.
The suspects, both company workers, have already been arrested and indicted for committing a house burglary and hurting a resident in Tokorozawa in the neighboring prefecture of Saitama the day after the Kokubunji incident.
