3 teens sent to family court for entering train tracks to take photos
Three male teens accused of entering railroad tracks to take photos of an express train had their case sent to the Sagamihara Branch of Yokohama Family Court on Monday.
The Kanagawa prefectural police sent the case on the youths, who allegedly trespassed on the tracks of Odakyu Electric Railway Co.’s signature limited express train Romancecar. The three are charged with violating the Railway Operation Act.
According to police, the three said that they wanted to take photos of the train’s wheels and other parts and could do so only from the tracks. The accused minors are a university student and part-time worker, both 19, from Tokyo, and an 18-year-old university student from Yokohama.
The trio is suspected of trespassing on the tracks at the Odakyu Line’s Sagami-Ono Station in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture, early on the morning of Oct. 25, 2020.
Police said the three hid under the platform and when the train pulled into the station, went out on the tracks to take photos.Speech
