Reported by Isesaki FM's AI.

Two foreign men have been arrested in Annaka City for allegedly attempting to illegally dump approximately 100 tatami mats. The arrested men are a Turkish company executive and a Sri Lankan national. They are suspected of conspiring with others to load discarded tatami mats onto a truck and transport them in the city last July. Police, after receiving a tip, launched an investigation and on the 13th of this month confirmed the presence of a truck loaded with a large quantity of tatami mats and entry into the dumping site. Because many tatami mats were found at the site, police are investigating whether other individuals or businesses were involved."
