Six of 10 North Korean «fishermen» rescued from a tiny wooden boat drifting off northern Japan will be deported back to their country, an immigration official told AFP Tuesday.
Three of the crew have been arrested on suspicion of theft after they reportedly admitted to «taking out» electronic products from a remote Japanese island where they landed briefly to take refuge.
They are suspected of stealing a variety of items — including fridges, TV sets and even a door knob.
The ten men were first spotted by the coast guard as their dilapidated boated drifted into waters off the island of Hokkaido.
