A woman in Japan has been arrested for allegedly squashing a bun at a convenience store and leaving without buying the packet of bread.
Authorities in the southern city of Fukuoka confirmed to the BBC that the 40-year-old had been arrested on Monday for "criminal damage".
The woman, who said she was unemployed, claimed she "only checked the firmness of [the bun] by pressing lightly with my hand", according to police.
The woman had allegedly touched a bag of four black sesame and cream cheese buns. While the bag's wrapper was intact, police said one of the buns was damaged after she pressed it with her right thumb, and the entire bag could not be sold.
Police said the owner of the Lawson convenience store had claimed he had seen the woman squashing buns several times in the past.
As the woman was leaving the shop on Monday, the owner noticed the bun was damaged and he urged her to pay for the bread, according to police. The bag of buns cost about 180 yen (£0.95; $1.20).
She allegedly refused. After following her for 1km (0.6mi), the manager restrained her. The police were called to the scene and they arrested her.

I lucked out that I look fifteen years younger than I am. Even my coworkers forget how much older I am than they are, and they’re in college.
I spend almost zero time in the sun, which helps. I have very fair skin as a Euro-mutt.
I agree. Emphasis on *pun* in the oven.
They're not done until they get a rise out of people.
And she should have known not to pull a stunt like that at a Lawson convenience store, where the law is obviously on speed dial.
Probably a ¥enta.
Besides, if Gary Lawson owns that chain, she was just baking for trouble.
Well she should have been beaten within an inch of her life for that... What’s the world coming to when people can just crush any old bun they want to?
Was she the babushka model in the old “evenink vear” commercial?
I just got done rising for the day, and have been up a half flour.
Ha! You are really on a roll!
“just got done rising for the day, and have been up a half flour.”
At yeast you got up.
At yeast you got up.
Law-ful people know not to rise unless it's Arthur-ized.
I still wound up doing everything breadpan, er, deadpan.
It might look like all heal is going to break loose, but all leavens out in the end.
Was in Shimbun!..............
