A CCTV recording of a daring phone snatching at a coffee shop has gone viral on social media, leaving many netizens stunned by how quickly the crime unfolded.
The footage, which has been widely shared on Threads, shows three men sitting at an outdoor table, chatting casually while one of their mobile phones was left on the table.
Moments later, a motorcyclist rode slowly towards the group before pulling up alongside the table. In a matter of seconds, the rider reached over, grabbed one of the phones and sped off before anyone could react.
The three men appeared visibly shocked by the sudden theft. The video shows them remaining frozen for a brief moment before one of the men stood up, apparently attempting to respond. However, by then, the suspect had already disappeared from the scene.
The incident has since attracted widespread attention online, with many users warning others not to leave valuables unattended in public places, even for a short period. The video has also reignited concerns over opportunistic snatch thefts targeting unsuspecting victims at eateries and other public areas.
It is unclear when or where the incident took place, and there has been no official confirmation from the authorities regarding the case. Police have also yet to confirm whether a report has been lodged.
