TOKYO - Four watches worth around 200 million yen ($1.3 million) were stolen in a matter of seconds Tuesday from a store inside a shopping complex popular among anime and manga fans, police said.

Two men, wearing black masks and pants, used a hammer to smash a display case near the entrance and snatch the watches. One fled the Nakano Broadway complex on an electric scooter and the other ran away, according to the police. They remain at large.
