genuine louis vuittons only!
the media has correctly used the term “cross dress” to describe tokyo police who have had to don woman’s attire in a bid to catch bag snatchers! i wonder where you apply for these jobs?
Patrolling in high heels, wigs and designer bags, Japanese black-belt policemen have been cross-dressing in a bid to beat off bag-snatchers, a report said.
The all-male squad has been deployed since last month on night patrols in central Aichi prefecture, wearing skirts and stockings and carrying eye-catching handbags as bait for potential thieves, the Asahi daily reported.
So far the unit has failed to nab any muggers, the Asahi said, and Aichi police declined to comment to Agence France-Presse on the report.
To qualify for the special squad, police have to be young, slim and hold the top rank of a black belt in a martial art such as karate or judo, the report said.
A 26-year-old officer – measuring 1.71 metres in height and weighing in at a dainty 61 kilograms – expressed pride in the mission, telling the daily: “It’s cowardly to target women who are weak.”
The operation has not been without its pitfalls. Some of the stylish policemen have become targets themselves – of cat-calls and lewd propositions.
One 25-year-old officer said he “panicked” one night when a male driver leaned out of his car window and asked if he wanted to go for a drive.
wow – 1.71m tall and 61kg – haven’t checked that out on the bmi yet … i hope the bag given to him suited his body shape and colour coordinated with the balck belt!
