“I’m a famous yankee! I’m more famous!” Junior high school girls and gang members assaulted junior high school boys over SNS issue in Saitama, Saitama Prefecture.

‘I am a famous yankee in Saitama’, said by one of the high school students.

Eleven junior high school students, including a 15-year-old girl, were arrested after they got into trouble following a SNS message sent by the junior high school students.

According to the police, a 15-year-old junior high school girl of undetermined residence, Naoto Oguchi, a member of the Sumiyoshi-kai gang, and 11 others are suspected of taking a 14-year-old junior high school boy into their car in Kawaguchi City, Saitama Prefecture, in October 2012, locking him up and beating him with an iron pipe, causing serious injuries including broken ribs.

A group of junior high school boys sent a message to a junior high school girl on SNS, saying that they were famous yankees in Saitama, to which the girl replied, “I am a more famous yankee”, leading to trouble.

It is believed that the suspect Oguchi, an acquaintance of the junior high school girl, gathered members of a motorcycle gang and committed the crime with six cars and more than 20 people, and the police are investigating the case in detail.
