Nov 01 (NHK) - Police have arrested 7 people in connection with a cash robbery of 380 million yen, or about 3.4 million dollars, in western Japan in April.
The robbery took place in broad daylight at a parking lot of a bank in Fukuoka City.
Two men sprayed liquid into the face of a precious metal dealer and got away with a suitcase containing the cash, which had just been withdrawn for gold trade.
Police later found the getaway van in the city. They also analyzed security video footage to identify suspects.
The 7 suspects arrested on Tuesday face robbery and assault charges. The investigation continues, as police believe more people may have been involved in the heist.
