In this case, according to the prefectural police, Hirosue had no identification when he was arrested red-handed.
Due to these circumstances, the police announced that the person in question was a 'self-proclaimed suspect,' but based on her physical appearance and other characteristics, they continued their investigation, believing that she was the actor Hirosue Ryoko, and once they were able to confirm her identity, they made a second announcement.
