A group of thieves, allegedly consisting of two individuals, targeted four cars parked on a busy street, using a specialized tool to break into the vehicles and steal laptops and valuables.
The thieves’ modus operandi was both simple and swift. One thief distracted the security guard while the other silently smashed the car windows with a specialized device, likely a tool designed to break glass without making significant noise. The entire operation was captured on CCTV footage, offering a chilling glimpse into the audacity of the criminals.

The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and the need for robust security measures in public spaces.
