Authorities say that the man, who, has been identified as Mitsuaki Tanigawa. The man apparently started his hiests in 2009 back with a similar robbery. He was apparently caught on surveillance tape trying to break into an electronics store in Osaka, meanwhile, made the mistake of taking off his ski-mask in front of the camera.
