The 34-year-old was arrested Tuesday for allegedly breaking into a man's home and wrecking the instruments, with reports that the violins had been made or collected by her 62-year-old former partner. The collection included an Italian-made instrument worth 50 million yen ($445,000), according to Jiji Press. "The total financial damage claimed by the victim is 105.9 million yen," a police spokesman from the central prefecture of Aichi, where the crime allegedly took place, told AFP. "She is suspected of entering the home by breaking a window sometime between January 30 and February 19 in 2014," he said. At the time of the incident, the couple were reportedly in the middle of a divorce, which was completed last year.
