A gadget vendor exposed a phone thief by playing CCTV footage showing the exact moment his phone was stolen, after the culprit initially denied the act.
The incident was shared in a post on popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter) by user @SIKAOFFICIAL1, who detailed how the thief was caught in the act.
In the footage, the vendor could be seen attending to several customers inside his shop, with his personal phone placed on a glass counter.
A man in red, who had just finished a transaction, was seen counting money and handing it over to the vendor.
Moments later, while the vendor was distracted, the man quietly picked up the vendor's phone and slipped it away.
To prove the theft, the vendor played the CCTV recording in the presence of the accused, showing him clearly committing the act.
The video has since gone viral, sparking reactions from social media users who flooded the comment section to express their views on the incident.
