Japanese Police have arrested a Chinese student who used an army of bots to steal items from fellow players in a popular online role playing game.
The items were then sold on auction sites for cash, however can this sort of mugging charge hold up in court? The actual act of mugging was done virtually, although the selling of the items was done in the real world...
In Japan, there are no specific laws to govern trade in virtual possessions.
The BBC has full report.
