Police in Tokyo have arrested five men on suspicion of attempting to rob a company president by using pepper spray on him as he walked along a street. The suspects are accused of conspiring to pepper spray the man in his 30s, the president of a temp staffing company, on a street in Edogawa Ward, at around 10:20 a.m. on Sept 19, TV Asahi reported. They then attempted to rob the man of approximately 53 million yen in cash he was carrying in a bag. Police said Satokawa's statements and security camera footage helped reveal the involvement of the four others who were arrested this week. They are also investigating who knew the company president would be carrying that much cash on that day.
