A Tokyo man was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of kidnapping a 12-year-old girl from Nagano Prefecture when he appeared with her at a police station earlier that day after she had been reported missing on Saturday.

Hironori Aoki, 31, who came to know the girl via a website, is suspected of luring her into his car in front of JR Komoro station, Nagano Prefecture, at around 10 a.m. Saturday by proposing they go for a drive, and then keeping her with him until early Wednesday.
