Teenagers nabbed playing badger game

Nine teenagers have been arrested for luring timid men to secluded locations around Tokyo and robbing them, police said Thursday. The boys admitted to playing the badger game after reading a magazine article saying that such a trick was “lucrative” because few victims would report the affair to police when lured by women and forced to pay money.

Careful who you send your mobile phone photos too..!!
