The Jiyakawa store in Shinjuku, Japan was crazily snapped up by Chinese aunties! A bag attracts comprehensive security check by Japanese police

Recently, there was a panic buying incident caused by a group of Chinese purchasing agents at the Keikawa specialty store in Shinjuku, Tokyo. A Chinese middle-aged woman crazily stuffed a GIIKA doll into her backpack in the store, but only paid for one at checkout. After the salesperson discovered this abnormal behavior, they were unable to open the customer’s bag for inspection without authorization, so they had to report it to the police for handling, which led to a scene of police inspecting bags one by one in the store. It is reported that at the end of last month, a Chinese netizen visited the store and heard that a scalper from Northeast China suggested that everyone try to put dolls in their bags as much as possible, and claimed that only one needs to be taken out for formal settlement when checking out. A Chinese middle-aged woman followed this procedure, but was quickly detected by the shop assistant. Due to insufficient staff, it was not possible to directly inspect customers’ bags, so an alarm was raised. The police quickly arrived at the scene and began inspecting all customers’ bags, causing the shop to suspend operations. At present, there is no consensus on whether this Chinese woman will face criminal charges in Japan, but netizens generally believe that her behavior has constituted theft, and even many Chinese netizens express their inability to accept this behavior.
