Sanitiser robbery
The video that was posted, happens to be a CCTV surveillance footage of an ATM vestibule, from March 27. In the video, the man is seen withdrawing money from the ATM and putting it in his pocket. Before he leaves, he spots a sanitiser bottle on a stool beside the ATM. The man, rather carefree and least bothered about the presence of a CCTV camera above him, picks up the bottle and instead of using it to sanitise his hands, he puts the bottle inside his jacket and walks out as if nothing happened.
