Tokyo: Police served fresh arrest warrants Tuesday on four senior members of a fraud group, over a high-profile robbery and murder case in Komae, Tokyo, in January.

Tokyo’s Metropolitan Police Department suspects that the four–Yuki Watanabe, 39, Kiyoto Imamura, 39, Toshiya Fujita, 39, and Tomonobu Kojima, 45–gave orders in the case. Watanabe is believed to be the leader of the fraud group. All four suspects were extradited from the Philippines in February.

They face charges of murder and robbery in the Komae case, which was one of a recent series of robberies across Japan.
