'Excuse me, I'd like to rob you please'
ASHIKAGA, Tochigi -- A man armed with a knife walked into a convenience store here, politely asked the attendant for money, then apologized as he fled with 30,000 yen, police said.
Investigators said the assailant entered the store at about 1:35 a.m. on Saturday. After approaching the 34-year-old attendant at the counter, he threatened him with a knife, saying, "Excuse me, I'm terribly sorry but my company has gone bankrupt, so please give me some money."
The attendant handed him 30,000 yen from the cash register, which the man snatched before fleeing on a bicycle. As he left the store he said, "Sorry about all this."
There were no customers in the store at the time, and the attendant was not hurt, police said.
Investigators said the man appeared to be aged in his 50s. He was reportedly about 165 centimeters tall and had short grayish hair. (Mainichi Shimbun, June 22, 2002)
