Unwise sales move

TOKYO: Six pornography peddlers in western Japan have been arrested after mailing their catalogues to the head of Osaka Police Department by mistake. Police last week arrested Toshiharu Hidaka, 27, and five other men on suspicion of possessing obscene material with the intent to sell it in Osaka, Jiji Press said. The suspects had been sending catalogues of illegal porn DVDs to random male customers by mail, and three sets were addressed to the police chief’s house accidentally. Police then raided Mr Hidaka’s office and seized 280,000 uncensored discs as well as 7,000 illegal erectile dysfunction pills. The six have admitted the allegations, Jiji added. AFP
