Three Tokyo youths arrested for cork hunting, everyone else learns what cork hunting is

There’s a whole world of stuff going on that most people aren’t aware of.

On 19 June it was announced that three teens were arrested for the robbery and assault of a 20-year-old man. The victim was on his moped when a cigarette was put out on his face and his bike and helmet were stolen from him.

Police said two of the three suspects, two boys aged 17 and 18 confessed to the crimes while the remaining 17-year-old girl has denied some charges claiming, “I was just borrowing the bike.” All three reside in the Adachi Ward of Tokyo.

there is a lot that I am apparantly unaware of :) Japan to me has an image of the safest place on earth and objectively I think it is. The more difficult it is that there are things like gang rivalries even in Japan.

I had no idea what corking or "cork hunting" rather was. I think sometimes it is better to not know about an odd trend going on with the kids/young adults these days. haha
