The man told police he arrived in Fukuoka on April 18 to purchase gold bullion and was attacked Thursday afternoon by two men who sprayed him with something and snatched a carry-on bag containing the cash while he was returning to his vehicle from the bank. The man, who works at a precious metals shop in Tokyo, was robbed Thursday and had also withdrawn a large sum from the same Mizuho Bank branch with another person the previous day, the sources said. The attackers fled in a white van that used side roads in an apparent attempt to avoid the license plate monitoring system on major roads and expressways, the police found. During the investigation, a group of South Korean men were stopped at Fukuoka airport on the same day as the robbery for trying to take a huge amount of cash out of Japan undeclared. The van bore a stolen license plate and the police believe it has not left the prefecture, the sources said. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
