Next time you see a man dressed up as Winnie the Pooh or any cartoon character, you might want to be wary if you are not in a theme park. A 20 year old mugger and his 3 teenage accomplices were dressed as Winnie the Pooh and other characters and managed to rob 2 poor folks of their money.
According to police, the mugger – Ishikawa picked a fight with two people including a 27-year-old man on a street near his house and dragged them to a nearby park, where he robbed them of about 18,000 yen in cash.
Ishikawa and his accomplices obtained the outfits from the home of a 16-year-old high school boy. Police say they plan to report Ishikawa’s three accomplices to local prosecutors in the near future.

No wonder parents always tell us to beware of men in weird costumes. LOL
when ya said mugger, the singaporean definition came to mind lol.
That’s how to mug someone. Dress as a cute loveable character from their childhood, to give them some trust and maybe a giggle. Then steall all their money.
it sound funny but when you think about it’s screwed up
Those costumes are hard to move in, how did they manage that? O.o

@ Pyoro: LOL you must have studied too much
@ ToastLMAO: And to add – shattered all their hopes and dreams and bring them back to the harsh reality of life. LOL
@ otaku dan: I still find it really funny until maybe if I gotten mugged by Bugs Bunny or something.
@ Coco the Bean: Maybe they did some practising before going out on their mugging missions.
@ Dee: LOL Thats the way to deal with those creeps.
