CCTV Footage Shows Brazen Jozi Cellphone Thief Strike A Second Time [Video]

Yesterday it was RocoMamas, and today it's another Johannesburg restaurant. A closer look at the CCTV footage shows the incidents took place about 15 minutes apart.

Same day, same dude, pretty much the same modus operandi.

Following yesterday’s article, which featured CCTV footage of a thief targeting a RocoMamas patron, today we have another.

This time, CCTV footage from a what appears to be a different restaurant shows a diner sitting on his cellphone, when a man in a white t-shirt enters the area.

Again on his cellphone, again acting all innocent – the thief mills around until, BAM, he makes his move and sprints off with the patron’s cellphone.

If you look closely enough, it appears he enters a similar getaway car to the one we saw yesterday.

The incident, which also took place on February 27, can be seen below:

So this one took place at just after 1PM, and the video we saw yesterday took place at 1:18PM – no rest for the wicked.

Let’s just hope that this type of robbery is shut down before other start emulating the thief.
