A former employee of a unit of security company Alsok has been arrested on suspicion of stealing money from automated teller machines he was assigned to manage, it was learned Monday.<\/p>\n
Tokyo’s Metropolitan Police Department’s\u00a0Tsukiji police station arrested 57-year-old Tsuyoshi Oyama. The suspect has admitted the allegation, telling investigators he committed the crime out of despair after his parents died two years ago and he became dissatisfied with work, informed sources said.<\/p>\n
Oyama is suspected of stealing a total of \u00a5135 million from ATMs in Tokyo’s Chuo Ward on several occasions between Dec. 26 and 30 last year.<\/p>\n
According to police sources, Oyama worked for Alsok Stationed Security for about five years and was responsible for managing ATMs at the time of the incident. A surprise inspection by the company found a cash shortage, and security camera footage showed the suspect stealing cash.<\/p>\n
Oyama went missing after taking sick leave on Dec. 31. He was later found at a hotel in Kyoto Prefecture with tens of millions of yen in cash and luxury goods.<\/p>\n
According to Alsok Stationed Security, Oyama was given a disciplinary dismissal in late January this year.<\/p>\n
The company said in a statement that it would continue to cooperate fully with the police investigation and take measures to prevent any recurrence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A former employee of a unit of security company Alsok has been arrested on suspicion of stealing money…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20776,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[16492,16493,8,994,33,16494],"class_list":{"0":"post-20775","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-japan","8":"tag-alsok","9":"tag-atm","10":"tag-japan","11":"tag-japanese-police","12":"tag-nihon","13":"tag-theft"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20775","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20775"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20775\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20776"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20775"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20775"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/japan\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20775"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
