Japanese Letter Text:

けいさつの あほども え
おまえら うそ ついたらあかんで
うそは ドロボーの はじまりや
ちょうせん状は 甲子えん けいさつえも
おくったやないか かくしたら あかん
なきごと ゆっとる ようやから
また ヒント おしえたろ
工場えは 通用門から はいった
タイプは パンライターやポリ「よおきは
ひろいもんや
かい人21面相



English Translation:

To police fools. You shouldn’t lie. If you lie, you steal. I also sent this to the Koshien police. Why are you lying. Don’t hide things. Why are you complaining? You guys are having such a hard time, so I will give you a hint. I entered the factory from the side staff entrance. The typewriter we used is PAN-writer. The plastic container used was a piece of street garbage.
Monster with 21 faces
