Footage from a CCTV camera shows a man entering a boutique and stealing two iPhones while the owner and a sales representative were both asleep.
This video was posted on the social media site X (previously known as Twitter) by user @ChuksEricE, showcasing the scene inside the boutique during the theft.
In the recording, the suspect can be seen entering discreetly and taking a moment to observe his surroundings.
Upon noticing that the staff were asleep, he began to look for items of value.
He discovered a phone that was charging and calmly disconnected it before approaching the sleeping individuals to grab another phone next to one of them.
Fortunately, the CCTV footage clearly recorded the suspect’s face during the entire event.
