Tear Gas used in Ginza, Tokyo Diamond Heist

Back on June 14, two Heistmen netted a jewelry score worth 290 million yen (about 2.53 million dollars by my calculations). The two men entered the Exelco Diamond Tokyo store in Ginza, and sprayed tear gas on a clerk. They they proceded to pry open the showcases and took a 100-carat tiara crafted in Belguim and a necklace. The Heist only took a few moments and the pair never spoke.

Unfourtunatly, for the Heistmen, the spray can was found later by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The tear gas is widely available in France, but prohibited from being exported or being taken out of France. The TMPD then contacted the French Police thru Interpol and the can’s serial number revealed that the tear gas was purchased at a military surplus shop in Marseille. The police don’t know who purchased the tear gas, but it has led them to believe that the Heist could have been by the Pink Panther crime group known to base out of the South of France. (Side note: The South of France is a great place for Heistmen to lay low. I also like Pays Basque, Pais Vasco, and Catalunya.)

I always think that Heists are a lot less smooth when someone is harmed. The true “Art” of the Game is to have no victims save the insurance company or extremely wealthy people who are known to be less than outstanding citizens. For instance, a greedy Rich guy that let’s say, hits women. That kind of guy deserves to be heisted. He actually deserves worse. It would have been a better heist if they did not harm the clerks and maybe “tipped” the clerks on their way out. I have always thought that stuffing a C-note in the pocket of the jewelry store clerk on your way out is style.

Leaving clues behind is one of the greatest mistakes a Heistman can make. That can of tear gas found could really hurt these guys. Unless of course, they were trying to steer Interpol in the wrong direction. That of course, would be style. You can’t argue with the size of the heist. Heistmen can make even more than Hedge Fund Managers or Private Equity Barons. And it’s more honest work as well. The Rest is Up to You…
