A Professional Heist Shakes Up a Store in Midelt... The Cameras Captured It All!

The “Hamezat Youssef” store in Midelt was the scene of a theft captured on surveillance cameras, in which a female customer entered the store and picked up a shopping basket to distract those present and make everyone believe she was shopping normally.

Taking advantage of the staff’s distraction, the woman concealed numerous products and cosmetics inside the sleeves of her jacket and under her coat, before emptying the rest of the shopping basket throughout the store and calmly leaving.

In his poignant appeal, the store owner explained that the establishment is equipped with more than 16 high-resolution surveillance cameras that recorded the finest details of the perpetrator’s movements, step by step, from the moment she entered until she left.

The store owner decided to release these recordings to alert other merchants and store owners to the need for caution and vigilance, appealing to the public to help identify the woman and assist the relevant authorities in recovering his property and compensating for his losses.
