Toilet Roll Japanese man arrested for calling toll-free number 500 times
Japanese man arrested for calling toll-free number 500 times

TOKYO - A JAPANESE plumber was arrested for calling a toll-free number around 500 times so he could hear a taped female voice, police said on Monday.

Hiroyuki Nomoto, a 38-year-old Tokyo resident, was arrested on suspicion of obstructing the business of the company, a food firm based in the city of Takasaki north of the capital.

'The company has the number for 24-hour order-taking with a female voice.

He said he wanted to hear a woman's voice,' a police spokesman said.

'The company paid the call charges, which amounted to 3.8 million yen (S$50,180) for the call time of 3,100 hours,' the official said.

Obsession with female voices is not new for Japanese police.

A 37-year-old man was arrested in January after placing at least 2,600 calls to directory help over several months.

Telephone operators - who in Japan are almost always women - reportedly nicknamed him the 'don't-hang-up-man.' -- AFP

He must be in love with the sweet voice at the other end of the line.
