Two juvenile males residing in Tokyo's Adachi Ward have been apprehended for alleged offenses, including stealing a motorcycle and firing aerial fireworks at two police boxes. Their account suggests their motive was annoyance over a recently established police box in their vicinity. The arrest took place on August 13, with charges encompassing theft and obstructing official business.
Authorities claim the incident occurred on July 4, when the boys allegedly pilfered a motorcycle from a parking area in Soka, Saitama Prefecture, and drove it to two police boxes in Adachi Ward, Tokyo. The individual riding on the back of the motorcycle is accused of firing the fireworks towards the officers stationed at the police boxes before they made their escape.
Both teenagers have reportedly confessed to the accusations, stating, "A police box was recently built and it was annoying, so we wanted to teach them a painful lesson."
