Chiba Prefectural Police have arrested an 18-year-old Chinese national accused of attempting to steal valuables from lockers at a public bathhouse
CHIBA (TR) – Chiba Prefectural Police have arrested an 18-year-old Chinese national accused of attempting to steal valuables from lockers at a public bathhouse using a massive stash of copied keys, reports Fuji News Network (Oct. 8).
In September, the teen allegedly posed as a customer to enter a public bath facility in Chiba Prefecture. Once inside the men’s changing room, he used a duplicate key to open a locked locker, rummaging through it in an attempt to steal cash and belongings, according to police.
Investigators revealed that the suspect brought a large quantity of copied keys into the facility, waiting for patrons to step away or take their eyes off their lockers before making his move.
Upon his arrest, officers confiscated a staggering 170 duplicate keys.
During police questioning, the suspect denied the allegations, simply stating, “That is incorrect.”
Given the sheer volume of keys seized, police suspect the teen is involved in numerous other similar crimes and are continuing their investigation into additional charges.

千叶（TR）——据富士新闻网（10月8日）报道，千叶县警方逮捕了一名18岁的中国公民，该男子被控使用大量复制钥匙试图从公共澡堂的储物柜中盗窃贵重物品。
据警方称，今年9月，这名青少年涉嫌假扮顾客进入千叶县一家公共澡堂。进入男更衣室后，他用一把备用钥匙打开了一个上锁的储物柜，翻找里面的东西，试图偷窃现金和个人物品。
调查人员透露，嫌疑人携带大量复制钥匙进入该设施，等待顾客离开或将目光从储物柜上移开，然后实施行动。
