Actor learnt to climb walls for movie stunts, then started stealing from dozens of homes. His identity left people shocked when police caught him

He was trained to climb walls, perform dangerous stunts and handle physically demanding action scenes for movies. But years after his stunt career ended, the actor found a very different use for those skills, allegedly using his agility to enter people's homes and carry out a string of burglaries. He eventually targeted 43 houses and stole goods worth around 8.2 million yen. What made the case even more surprising was the identity of the man behind the unusual break-ins.
