breaking toyota offices raided in tokyo in connection with hamp arrest

Reuters is reporting police have raided Toyota’s office in Tokyo in connection with the arrest of communications chief Julie Hamp over alleged drug importation offences.

When asked, a Toyota spokesman declined to comment on the nature of the police presence, but said the company is cooperating with police.

Hamp, the first female senior executive at Toyota, has a long road ahead of her if there’s enough evidence to bring her to trial, as we covered last week.

  @bball40dtw I think he's already using his for a coke operation. Maybe he'd lend me his Sunday car?

  I would use CJ's Honda. If the cops try to stop me, the Takata shrapnel defense system would protect me.

  What car would I use to smuggle drugs? I'll take the Cognoscenti. In real life, I'll take a Scion xB. I can go out in style, just like the lady in the "Benny Hill" chase!

Do the Japanese Police drive Toyota's? I would find the raid even more amusing if the police drove Toyota's.

The definition of Not Good. Maybe Julie Roehm is available? At least she's fun to party with, or so I've heard.
