Security camera footage shows theft of ‘power stone’ from shop

Tokyo Metropolitan Police are searching for a man who stole a high-end bracelet affixed with a so-called “power stone” from a shop in Taito Ward last week, reports TBS News (Aug. 28).

On August 25, the perpetrator pocketed the bracelet — valued at around 100,000 yen — from a shelf. The bracelet, containing the gemstone Larimar, is said to bring its wearer good luck.

In security camera footage taken inside the shop, the perpetrator, attired in a white shirt and black pants, is shown taking the bracelet from the shelf with his left hand while examining other items and slipping it into his pocket.
