Today, the Niigata Prefectural Police arrested two illegal passers who were illegally exempted from the toll charges originally to be paid on December 21, 2011 and February 27, 2012, respectively, on charges of fraud. Announced.

In this case, when the suspect uses an ETC on-board device when using the Expressway, he/she falsely applied to the toll booth staff at the exit toll gate, saying that he/she has the ETC on-board device. I was deceived by the government and applied the ETC time zone discount, and was unjustly exempted from the toll that I should have paid.

Our company has always been working with a strong stance of not allowing illegal traffic so as not to damage customers' trust in the toll road business. We believe that the recent arrest of the suspect will ensure fairness in toll charges and prevent unauthorized traffic.

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

In addition, for illegal tolls by the suspect, we will check the difference in toll charges and request a surcharge (twice the amount exempted) in addition to the illegally charged toll difference.
