Original review summary

The review says the circulating images were edited from news footage about a different fraud case, rather than documenting an Uber Eats delivery theft. It points to altered image details and notes that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has no Sumida Police Station.[S1]

Additional context

The footage used in the images came from reporting on a university student arrested in February on suspicion of fraud involving improper receipt of COVID-19 business support payments. [S1]
