Man breaks lock with a stone and steals worker's bicycle in Cabo Frio

A bicycle was stolen in Cabo Frio, Brazil, by a man who broke the lock using a stone.

On Monday, around 19:20, in Cabo Frio, Brazil, a bicycle belonging to a restaurant worker named Hiago Cruz was stolen while he was working nearby. Security camera footage captured the suspect approaching the bicycle and trying to manipulate the locks. After spending some time at the location, the suspect managed to break one of the locks with a stone and left with the bicycle without being noticed by anyone around.

Hiago, who had begun his work shift at 16:00, discovered the theft approximately 30 minutes later. He recounted how the thief used a stone to hit the locks until he succeeded in breaking one. The bicycle was secured in an area a bit distant from the employees’ working zone, which potentially contributed to the lack of witnesses during the crime. This incident sheds light on the security issues faced by workers in Cabo Frio, raising concerns over the safety of personal property in public spaces.

The stealing of bicycles, particularly in urban areas, is a growing concern, reflecting broader issues of crime and safety in Brazilian cities. This event not only highlights the vulnerability of individuals leaving their bicycles unattended but also underscores the need for improved security measures and community awareness to prevent such thefts in the future.
