Japanese Insurance Agent Steals For Hair Treatments

May 31st 2007 16:45
A Social Insurance Agency official who had been arrested for stealing a purse from a locker at the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry, stole a total of 1.6 million yen in 28 instances of theft in the ministry and the Environment Ministry, as he needed money for hair growth treatment, police said Wednesday.

Keiichi Ogawa, an accounting section official, stole the money from January through March from lockers at the government building that houses the SIA and the health and environment ministries, they said.

Ogawa, 28, reportedly used 3 million yen for laser therapy for hair growth and to purchase an expensive scalp massage machine.


After borrowing money from a consumer finance company to make the payments and falling deeper into debt, he stole money in the ministry building to pay back the funds, police said.

Ogawa was arrested on April 12 on suspicion of stealing a purse containing 3,000 yen from a woman's locker in the health ministry section of the government building.

When police arrested him, they found a notebook in which he had written the date and time when he successfully stole money. After the investigation, the police confirmed he committed 28 thefts.

Ogawa went to a beauty salon near his home in Saitama for three years, and spent more than 2 million yen on scalp massage and laser therapy. He also bought a 300,000 yen scalp massage machine and hair growth tonics that cost 50,000 yen each.

I wonder if it worked...

Hahaha!! If Japanese prisons practice the same admission procedures as American prisons--shaving the inmate's head--now THAT would be too hilarious.
