A mysterious “glasses thief” has appeared in Tokyo, Japan, with a 49-year-old man snatching glasses from passersby! Could it be that a “glasses enthusiast” has gone too far?

Have you ever imagined a very inconvenient situation: when you are in a public place and suddenly someone snatches your glasses away, that feeling of helplessness is truly indescribable. Starting a few months ago, there have been several astonishing cases reported in Shinjuku, Tokyo, where passersby’s glasses were inexplicably snatched. Now, the suspect who has taken glasses as prey has finally been caught.

The police found 51 pairs of glasses at his residence, all of which were “trophies” he had snatched from others. What is surprising is that this suspect has yet to reveal his motive for doing so. Let us explore the story of this unique and unusual glasses enthusiast together.

The suspect is a 49-year-old Japanese man who was recently arrested by the police for theft.

 Strangely, this suspect specifically targets pedestrians’ glasses!

The Japanese police announced to the public that they have detained a man named Moritoh, suspected of stealing belongings from passersby while riding a lightweight motorcycle. However, unlike common thieves, this man’s targets were not money or valuable items, but were limited to glasses!

 The police seized the suspect’s property and tools used in the crime:

 A lightweight motorcycle used for committing crimes

And up to 51 pairs of glasses as “spoils,” all forcibly taken from others

According to a man in his 20s who was victimized in September of this year, the suspect’s method of operation began with a simple interaction.

At that time, the victim, who was normally walking on the street, was suddenly approached by the suspect, which caught his attention.

 It is said that the suspect rode a motorcycle, suddenly approached, and asked for directions.

 The police speculate that he may have taken this opportunity to confirm the style of the victim’s glasses.

Then, he quickly approached the victim from behind while they were completely defenseless, snatched the glasses, and swiftly fled the scene.

Such attacks often leave victims feeling powerless: the loss of their glasses causes their vision to blur, preventing them from reacting quickly or providing information about the direction in which the suspect fled. This method of operation allows the suspect to strike repeatedly, and the police take a long time to apprehend them.

Currently, there have been several similar incidents reported in the Tokyo area, and the police initially suspect that they are connected to the same suspect.

The exposure of this case makes one exclaim “The world’s quirks truly know no bounds!”

In fact, the incidents of theft have not only raised concerns about material loss, but have also subjected victims to temporary psychological panic and a sense of losing direction. In a population that relies on vision, the importance of glasses is akin to that of protective equipment, and such sudden attacks undoubtedly have a huge impact on their sense of security.

After experiencing this case, many people have become more vigilant about their glasses, even becoming less willing to lend them to others or take them off in public. This case has reminded the public that glasses, which are valuable collectibles and easy to resell, have surprisingly become targets for certain groups, compelling individuals to be more alert to the safety of their belongings.

Regardless, the swift resolution of this incident and the efficient work of the police have given the citizens a positive signal – that no matter how bizarre the case, it will be thoroughly investigated, and all coincidences will ultimately reach their due conclusion. May similar incidents not occur again, allowing citizens to have fewer worries and more peace of mind in their daily lives.
