Saitama police arrested a 26-year-old woman Tuesday on burglary resulting in injury charges after allegedly acting as the financial coordinator for a yami baito (shady part-time job) operation that occurred in October.
The suspect, Keiko Muto from the city of Kyoto’s Kamigyo Ward, is accused of cooperating with the scheme’s mastermind and receiving stolen funds and transferring payments to accomplices in a violent burglary that occurred on Oct. 1 in the city of Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture.
A joint task force — comprising the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and others in Chiba, Kanagawa and Saitama prefectures — is also investigating her involvement in a robbery and manslaughter incident that occurred a day earlier in Kokubunji, Tokyo.
