JAPANESE police have arrested a man who allegedly robbed a woman of $160 while disguised in a schoolgirl's uniform.

Yoshifumi Moriwaki, 24, admitted snatching the handbag of a 19-year old student from her bicycle basket as she was riding home on April 24, Midori district police in Aichi state said in a statement.

Dressed in a navy blue miniskirt and a white top with a sailor's collar, Moriwaki rode up behind the woman on his bicycle and grabbed her bag as he overtook her, the police said.

Moriwaki wore a shoulder-length brown-colored wig, they added.

Midori police had been on alert after five reported purse snatchings by robbers dressed in schoolgirl uniforms since late March.

Officers questioned Moriwaki late Saturday night after they spotted him in a miniskirt and a navy blue cardigan near a local train station.

Moriwaki also confessed to four other incidents, the police said
