Man breaks into 1,000 homes to ‘relieve stress’


THE police said that they have arrested a man who reportedly admitted to breaking into more than 1,000 homes in an unconventional way of relieving stress.

On Monday, police took the 37-year-old into custody on suspicion of trespassing on a property in Dazaifu in southern Japan, a police spokesman said.

“Breaking into other people’s homes is a hobby of mine, and I have done it more than 1,000 times,” Mainichi Shimbun quoted the unnamed man as saying.

“I get so thrilled that my palms sweat when wondering if someone will discover me or not, and it relieves some stress,” he told police, according to the newspaper. — AFP
