Current Events > Woman arrested for poking holes into 13 expensive melons with her finger.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Police in Kushiro City, Hokkaido Prefecture, have announced the arrest of a woman suspected of puncturing 13 melons with her finger. However, her motives remain a mystery.

The crime occurred on July 28, when the 64-year-old suspect entered a supermarket and allegedly stabbed the bakers dozen of melons with her finger at approximately 1:30 in the afternoon.
Its important to note that these arent just ordinary melons, but the renowned Yubari King which often make headlines for selling at exorbitant prices. The victimized melons had a combined worth of 14,000 yen. ($150)

Interestingly enough, no security cameras caught her in the act, so it is unclear how the police managed to track down the culprit. The nature of their detective work and the suspects motives have not been revealed, leaving it all open to wild speculation.

Occams razor would suggest that she was simply checking to see which one was the freshest, albeit in the absolute grossest way possible

I don't think expensive melons are unique to Japan

I'm sure you're right, but I usually hear it in context of Japan.

I think fruit in general is expensive in Japan.
