Yakuza Not As Smart As You Think!
CHIKUSHINO, Fukuoka -- Three gangsters and another man assaulted two police investigators on Thursday after mistaking them for members of a rival yakuza organization, police said Saturday.
The four were identified as Yasunori Mikasa, 25, Tatsuya Nakamura, 23, and Hidemaru Mikasa, 22, all members of the Fukuda-gumi, an affiliate of the Dojin-kai crime syndicate, and Hiroyasu Mikasa, 24.
They were arrested for robbery resulting in injuries after turning themselves in at a local police station on Friday.
"We committed the crime. We mistook them for members of a rival gang," one of them was quoted as telling investigators.
The incident occurred in a parking lot in Chikushino in the predawn hours of Thursday, during an investigation into the illicit sale of paint thinner as a drug.
