On November 25, Chiba Prefectural Police arrested a person at the Higashi-Kanto Expressway Narashino Main Line Toll Gate to Tomisato Toll Gate, who was driving on a Expressway by abusing the discount system for persons with disabilities, on the charges of computer fraud. Announced.

In this case, the suspect uses the ETC on-board device and ETC card whose information is registered in the name of a relative with a disability certificate while using the Expressway while the person with disability is not driving or riding Due to this, the person with a disability discount was applied and the act of illegally avoiding the toll that was originally to be paid was repeatedly performed, and the fact that the Company notified the Chiba Prefectural Police resulted in the arrest.

It should be noted that this is the first case in our company that arrests have been made using the same method.

We have taken a strong stance of “don't allow unauthorized traffic” to take measures such as installing unauthorized traffic surveillance cameras, so as not to damage customers' trust in the toll road business. We believe that the arrest of a person who commits malicious tolls will ensure fairness in the toll burden and prevent unauthorized tolls.

We will continue to take a resolute attitude against unauthorized traffic and will actively cooperate with police investigations to tackle unauthorized traffic.

The suspect will be checked for toll charges and will be charged a surcharge (twice the illegal toll charge) in addition to the illegal toll charge.
