Police this week arrested an 18-year-old unemployed man here after he dramatically evaded capture in Osaka City this summer by jumping into a river
SAITAMA (TR) – Police this week arrested an 18-year-old unemployed man here after he dramatically evaded capture in Osaka City this summer by jumping into a river and swimming away from investigators.
The teen was wanted by police over an incident in April, when he allegedly visited the home of a 38-year-old woman in Toyohashi City, Aichi Prefecture, to collect a debt owed by her eldest son.
According to police, the suspect threatened the woman, telling her, “If you don’t return the 60,000 yen by tomorrow, I’ll burn your house down.”
The suspect gained notoriety in July following a daring escape right outside the Osaka Detention House.
As Aichi Prefectural Police investigators approached him for questioning after he finished a visitation, the teen bolted. He plunged into a nearby river, swam to the opposite bank, and made his getaway in a vehicle.
Following a months-long manhunt, authorities tracked the fugitive to Saitama Prefecture, where he was finally taken into custody at a lodging facility in Kuki City on October 15.

埼玉（TR）——今年夏天，一名18岁的无业男子在大阪市戏剧性地跳入河中游走，逃脱了调查人员的追捕，本周警方在埼玉逮捕了他。
这名少年因四月份发生的一起事件被警方通缉，据称他当时前往爱知县丰桥市一名 38 岁妇女的家中，向她收取其长子所欠的债务。
据警方称，嫌疑人威胁该女子，告诉她：“如果你明天之前不还6万日元，我就烧了你的房子。”
7 月，该嫌犯在大阪拘留所外成功越狱，从而声名狼藉。
在结束探视后，爱知县警察的调查人员上前询问时，这名少年突然逃跑。他跳入附近的一条河里，游到对岸，然后开车逃走了。
经过数月的追捕，当局追踪到这名逃犯位于埼玉县，并于 10 月 15 日在九岐市的一家住宿设施将其逮捕。
