A Japanese trading card shop has offered a reward for information or action leading to the capture of a person who robbed it, specifying that the suspect should be taken “alive”. The unusual wording has drawn attention because it appears to invite members of the public to intervene, raising concerns about safety and the appropriate role of police.

The available article text does not provide further verified details about the robbery, the size of the reward, the shop’s location or whether authorities have responded. The report centres on the shop’s public appeal and its use of language associated with bounty hunting.
