A: Hey there! Heard anything exciting lately?
B: Not much, just the usual. Why do you ask?
A: Oh, it's about this crime group called JP Dragon. They've been causing trouble! Six Japanese guys got arrested for stealing cash cards from old folks in Japan. Can you believe it?
B: Whoa, that's terrible! What happened to those six?
A: They were part of a Philippine-based gang. The police nabbed them when they came here from the Philippines. Seems like they stole a card from an 89-year-old man in Saitama Prefecture, north of Tokyo. They also got arrested for another theft case involving an 82-year-old woman.
B: Wow, that's really bad! But what about the list they confiscated? What was on it?
A: The police found a big ol' list with about 200,000 people's names, addresses, and phone numbers. They believe the suspects used this list for scam activities. Some of them even made phone calls to victims pretending to be cops!
B: That sounds really dangerous! Did they say how much money they stole?
A: Yep! The six arrested guys are suspected of stealing 1.5 million yen from a woman in Kyoto Prefecture. That's about $10,000 dollars!
B: I can't believe it... How terrible for the victims.
A: Definitely! The police haven't said if the suspects admitted to their crimes yet. They don't want to disrupt the investigation. Let's hope justice is served soon!
