A supermarket in Shizuoka Prefecture has reported that their tomatoes on display were poked and crushed by a 52 year-old man, resulting in arrest for property damage.
According to the police, the incident took place on 5/11 around 10:25 am, where the man was found crushing a tomato (98 yen, or around 97 cents each) on display with his finger.
In April, this supermarket also had an instant ramen package opened with a finger. This month the tomato incidents began, and supermarket staff reported the perpetrator immediately upon catching him in the act.
