Ryukyu Shimpo and Okinawa Times wrote that on Tuesday the Naha district court sentenced a U.S. solider to four years and six months and a civilian worker to three years and six months in prison for their involvement in the robbery of a money exchange shop in Chatan on May 12. Prosecutors had requested six-year prison terms for both of them.
