Cops' first catch!

AP, Tokyo
A special detail of Japanese World Cup police made its first arrests Tuesday, nabbing three alleged pickpockets trying to swipe a wallet at a Tokyo restaurant.
Officers involved were part of a 102-member task force marshaled to clamp down on pickpocketing, purse snatching and robbery during the World Cup soccer finals, which begin Friday in Japan and South Korea.
Tuesday's bust was made during one of the routine patrols the team inaugurated Monday, a Tokyo police spokesman said on condition of anonymity.
Mexican Hugo Becerril, 39, was arrested along with two alleged accomplices -- Jose Ortega, 35, also from Mexico, and Ramon Palacios, 34, from Peru.
Police moved in just as Becerril allegedly stuck his hand into an unattended pocketbook and began groping around inside at a restaurant near Akihabara, Tokyo's huge electronics shop district, the police spokesman said.
The pocketbook belonged to a 66-year-old Japanese man, who
was reading a newspaper at the time and was unaware of the pickpocketing attempt.
Police could not immediately confirm whether the three suspects entered Japan to watch the World Cup finals.
Meanwhile in Seoul, a South Korean was arrested on Tuesday for allegedly buying credentials and smuggling fans into a stadium during a World Cup warmup match between South Korea and France.
Kim Maeng-ki, 40, was accused of receiving 30,000 won (dlrs 23) each from two fans and taking them into the stadium with the credentials, said a police official in Suwon, south of Seoul, where the game was held.
After smuggling one fan inside, Kim came out with both credentials and then took another inside, the official said on condition of anonymity.
Kim allegedly bought the credentials from a South Korean couple for 60,000 won (dlrs 46) in front of the stadium before Sunday's match, the official said. Police were also looking for the couple.
It was not immediately known whether Kim smuggled more fans into the stadium. Kim had 2 million won (dlrs 1,540) on him at the time of arrest, the official said.
The "STAFF A" credentials, which allows access to all parts of the stadium except the VIP zone, were issued by the Korea Football Association to one of its marketing agencies, the official said. Police withheld the name of the agency.
The credentials, which cannot be sold or lent, did not contain photographs, the official said.
Security is a major concern for World Cup co-hosts South Korea and Japan following the Sept. 11 terror attacks in the United States. The co-hosts evenly split 64 matches of the May 31-June 30 tournament.
"No such thing can happen during the World Cup. World Cup credentials, called accreditation cards, have photographs, barcodes and other sophisticated security measures," said Koh Young-sung, a spokesman for the security office at South Korea's World Cup Organizing Committee.
The latest arrest followed an incident in which South Korean organizers mistakenly issued a World Cup accreditation card to an American man on May 16, confusing him with a reporter for Britain's Sunday Mirror.
Fearing a possible terrorism plot, authorities hunted down the American who they suspected of posing as Paul Michael Smith to obtain the accreditation allowing access to all venues of the World Cup.
Police confirmed Monday that officials at the main press center in Seoul mistakenly issued the card to the American, Michael Paul Smith, because of similarities in the names.
