519F 2,240 police, 460 patrol cars, copter mobilized for car chase in Osaka

OSAKA — Police on Thursday arrested a wanted man after a two-hour car chase that involved 2,240 officers, 460 police cars and one helicopter. Hirofumi Fukuda, 27, who had been wanted for assaulting police officers on Jan 21, was arrested after a chase through central Osaka. Around 11 a.m., police received an emergency call saying that a car was driving recklessly, ignoring traffic lights. When a patrol car approached the vehicle in question, it took off.

Police were mobilized throughout the area and a helicopter called in. The chase ended when Fukuda’s car crashed into a bridge column. He sustained light injuries but no one else was injured in the chase.

    2,240 officers, 460 police cars and one helicopter.
    Ok, 2240 divided by 461 equals 4.85, must have been some sitting in others laps if the cars were 4 seaters.

    Now this is an example of a “criminal” who could be reformed… If it took over 2000 cops and 460 cars to catch him, he could certainly be employed by the police as a driving instructor.

    Saber,

    He didn’t say “dark out”… he said, “dark”. And it was 106 miles to Chicago. If you’re gonna be snarky, be accurate.

    In Responce to Jim in Pheonix, The line from the Movie was
    “Its a hundred miles from Chicago We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigaretts, its dark out and we’re wearing sunglasses. Hit it.”
    So therefore shouldnt your responce read?
    Its a hundred miles from Osaka, We’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigaretts, its dark out and we’re wearing sunglasses Hit it.?

    Miles - fine. Catch Jayson Brandin at 4828 9th St S, Apt B302, St Louis, MO. Tick tock. Tick tock. I expect to hear of your success less than two hours from now, and I expect you to catch him on your own.

    To quote: “It wouldn’t take me 2 hours to catch someone on my own.”

    Good luck.

    If the surrounding area didn’t fall into criminal chaos I think there is too many police. I think there is a need for police training too. It wouldn’t take me 2 hours to catch someone on my own.
