Police will do anything to catch thieves…even using “Trap” techniques!

trapsAn all-male police squad dressed as women has been deployed in Nagoya with the goal of catching attempted purse snatchers. The policemen, dressed in short skirts, stockings, high heels, wigs and carrying designer bags, have been walking the streets of Nagoya since last month in a bid to lure bag snatchers.

One 26-year-old officer said: “It’s cowardly to target women who are weak.” Another 25-year-old policeman admitted that he “panicked” when a male driver propositioned him from his car.

The unit consists of four male officers who are at least 160 cm tall. They all have a black belt in judo, karate or some other martial art. The squad works out of Naka police station which is in the center of Nagoya’s entertainment district.

A spokesman for the police said that the squad has so far failed to nab any would-be thieves.

I think it is better to hire Women that have a black belt in Judo, Karate or some other martial art…That should probably work the best…right?

    Hmm ….. traps only work if they’re alluring so perhaps the disguised males are not really good looking which also begs the question if they couldn’t find 4 real women (with black belts) in the police force that could do this?
