VIDEO: duo steals R$ 13 thousand from gas station in three minutes in Santa Bárbara

A duo of thieves stole R$ 13 thousand from a gas station in Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, Brazil, in just three minutes after requesting to use the bathroom.

A gas station in the central region of Santa Bárbara d'Oeste, São Paulo, was robbed early on Monday, October 9, with thieves managing to steal R$ 13 thousand in a remarkably quick time of just three minutes. The crime took place under the cover of night and was captured by the gas station's security cameras, highlighting the efficiency and audacity of the culprits.

The footage reveals that the two male suspects arrived at the gas station around midnight and asked the attendant for permission to use the restroom. This seemingly harmless request allowed one of the criminals to enter the office area, where the cash safe was located. Meanwhile, the other suspect occupied the attendant and facilitated their escape. The video shows their calculated movements as they executed the theft.

As of the latest update, the police have yet to locate the two suspects responsible for this brazen crime. The incident not only raises concerns regarding security measures in such establishments but also indicates a worrisome trend in criminal activity within the region. Local authorities are likely to ramp up investigations and preventive measures to address thefts of this nature.
