Films, TV series and books have accustomed us to reading or witnessing scenes of chases, robberies
and other crimes, but fortunately few of us find ourselves involved in such frenetic situations. This is not the
case of the employees of a fashion store who witnessed first-hand an attempted robbery that ended
in a completely unexpected way.If you imagine thieves escaping through windows, jumping into the void and then
grabbing onto something and then escaping the police with all their loot, you’re on the wrong track, because in
this case, that’s not how it went at all. The incident occurred in Bellevue, Washington, where a 17-
A one-year-old boy broke into a high-fashion store, Louis Vuitton, and tried to pull off a masterful robbery. Unfortunately,
there was a problem with his plan. Surveillance cameras captured the moment the thief entered
the store, grabbed some items and tried to head towards the door to leave.
Trying to escape, however, the 17-year-old didn’t realize that the window he was heading towards was
not a sliding door, but the store window. And it cost him dearly. The young man was literally overwhelmed
unconscious, crashing violently against the glass and collapsing to the ground. Stunned by the blow, the
thief was unable to get up in time and was caught by the guard, who threw him to the ground. tackled him to the
ground and took him into custody. Meanwhile, the two accomplices who were with him
managed to find the right exit and escape. Goods worth approximately $18,000 were recovered.
According to police statements, this was not the first incident, but one of many that have occurred
in recent months. In just one year, about sixty attempted thefts have been recorded and, perhaps,
the 17-year-old boy, who remained anonymous, was part of the group that committed similar
thefts in various stores in the city…
Let’s just hope that the cases decrease over time and that these situations become fewer and fewer.
