A: Hey! Did you hear about the crazy news in Tokyo?
B: No! What happened? Tell me!
A: Apparently, there were two robberies! One was huge!
B: Wow, really? How much?
A: Over 400 million yen! That’s like… 2.7 million dollars! They sprayed pepper spray on people in Taito Ward.
B: Seriously?! That's terrible!
A: Yeah! And then, just hours later, another attack at Haneda Airport!
B: What?! They tried to steal money *there* too?
A: They did! They were trying to steal around 190 million yen, or about 1.24 million dollars. But they didn't get it.
B: Phew! That's a close call!
A: It gets even weirder! One of the victims from the airport went to Hong Kong…
B: And? What happened then?
A: He got robbed *again*! Lost over 50 million yen!
B: No way! That's so unlucky!
A: They were apparently trying to move money to Hong Kong to change it. They do it almost every day!
B: Gold sales? That's a risky business!
A: The police are looking for the attackers, both here and in Hong Kong.
B: I hope they catch them soon! It's scary!
