A 28-year-old Japanese man was arrested after he allegedly broke into a six-storey building to steal Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, worth about one million yen (RM37,502).
According to Japanese daily Mainichi, Kensuke Nakanishi, a resident of Tokyo’s Toshima Ward had apparently gone to the building rooftop and fixed a rope to a railing on the roof and let it hang down.
He then climbed down about five metres using the rope without any safety harness and broke into the store’s window with a tool. He became a suspect after being spotted in video footage from security cameras near the store.

Nakanishi later admitted to the allegations and said that he did it to “pay off a debt”.
He was also quoted by police saying, “I was in the rock climbing club in high school, so I wasn’t afraid of heights.”
