Vice principal held for stealing panties

YOKOHAMA (Kyodo) An elementary school vice principal in Kanagawa Prefecture stole and kept about 300 pieces of women's underwear in his office locker, police said Monday.

The vice principal told police he stole and bought the underwear. Police are investigating whether he committed any further offenses.

Yasuo Nakajima, 54, vice principal of Hirota Elementary School in the city of Sagamihara, was arrested Sunday on suspicion of stealing a 23-year-old female graduate school student's underwear that was drying outside her apartment in the city, police said.

His locker was in the changing room for school personnel and was kept locked. The underwear were found inside shopping bags, the official said.

Man faces charges for dumping pornographic trove

NAGOYA (Kyodo) Males may hide secret little treasures from the females at home, but that of a 33-year-old corporate worker in Kosai, western Shizuoka Prefecture, became too bulky and too embarrassing.

Police have turned over to prosecutors their case against a man who allegedly violated waste disposal laws by illegally dumping his collection of about 1,000 pornographic video and DVD titles as well as an unknown number of magazines in an empty lot in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. The man, whose name is being withheld, took the items by car from Shizuoka to Aichi on Nov. 7. He chose the location because he was familiar with the area, having once gone fishing there.

"My wife told me to throw away (the collection). I brought them by car (to Toyohashi) because it would have been embarrassing if someone saw it," the man was quoted as saying by police.
