Thief steals money but pays for food
Police are looking for a robber who held up a noodle bar in western Japan then paid for his meal and waited for his change before making off. The young man ate a bowl of “ramen” noodles and a side order of fried chicken at a restaurant in the city of Osaka on Wednesday then produced a knife and forced a waitress to hand over takings of 46,000 yen (£205), Reuters reports. When the woman demanded he pay for his meal, the robber gave her 1,000 yen and waited for his 100 yen change before running away.
