Metropolitan Police Department officers early on Thursday morning arrested two Japanese men, Yuki Watanabe, 38, and Tomonobu Kojima, 45, in connection with a special fraud case.

The arrests took place aboard a deportation flight to Haneda Airport from the Philippines, which had transferred the men to Japanese custody. After arriving in Japan, the men were taken to a police station in Tokyo.

Both are suspected to have been involved in a series of robbery cases across Japan.
