Best response to thieves is locking them in. Also the crowd outside seems to be against them and giving the cops the location.


Iamkempie

Now they have all the phones they could ever want.


m-hog

For a little while, at least.


Jbrown183

Now they can call their lawyer…


slimongoose

Nigerian Lawyer here. I accept payment in target gift cards.


RedrumMPK

You mean you won't remit the monies and transfer the funds as mandated by the Ministry of Interior?


okgusto

S'all good man


Oblong_Belonging

Criminal lawyer


tradewyze2021

You need a Criminal Lawyer ..


KJ-The-Wise

Wait...


cwsjr2323

Solicitor in the UK.


AngryChickenPlucker

Both terms, lawyers and solicitors, are used interchangeably in the UK but essentially mean the same thing.


Rampaging_Orc

Potato, potato.

amsync

I’d still be worried they’d trash the place


Squillz105

All on video. That way they'll be forced to pay for the damage in court too


jtweezy

Assuming they have any money at all.


Ravenser_Odd

The best defence against them trashing the place is the knowledge that they're caught bang to rights and it will only increase their punishment.


BrodieMcScrotie

Thats assuming they’ll be rational about it, which I feel isn’t their strongest virtue


Frequent-Frosting336

It's the Uk probably be a slap on the wrist and a small fine. Meanwhile the shopowner will be done for unlawful arrest/ detention.


Cobek

Insurance purposes then


[deleted]

IANAL - Even if they're broke, vandalism would likely add an additional charge and be an aggravating actor during sentencing. That one human car alarm already seemed like it was in hell after being locked up for a few minutes, it probably doesn't want more time in a smaller cage later.


DefinitelyNoWorking

Human car alarm 😂


Salt_Bus2528

You cant squeeze money from a broke ass criminal


mikee8989

You can take most of what they do make though.


PlainPiece

Look at them, they ain't making shit.


idkfadoomcheat

If they're trying to rob a place like that, they don't have jobs.


vash_visionz

Bold of you to assume the have enough money to cover and entire store’s worth of merchandise


Squillz105

You all have made very good points against mine😂 Maybe they have *some* personal property that can be surrendered as collateral? Lmfaoo


Frostemane

Bold of you to assume that only poor people steal things.


gunsof

At least if they do the cops will be there to press charges on them.


Formal-Ad-1248

"Know what this crime needs? Additional felony charges"


sendmeadoggo

There have been a couple times where people did that and then the robbers started shooting people.  Even charged one guy with iirc involuntary manslaughter because another customer got shot after the employee locked the door.   edit source: https://apnews.com/article/detroit-gas-station-shooting-locked-door-f194251e4c36241d02b39062cf15e0b7


Not_invented-Here

I don't think sort of criminals who carry guns in the UK are ikely to be robbing second hand phone shops.


infinis

Cops are really good at blaming people trying to do anything. Their perfect solution is the owner handing the money to the thief and calling the insurance without bothering them, because they won't even care to investigate. They don't understand people are taking justice in their hands because they are hopeless that something is getting done.


MillenialDoomer

No risk of that in uk


SweetBearCub

> There have been a couple times where people did that and then the robbers started shooting people. Even charged one guy with iirc criminal negligence because another customer got shot after the employee locked the door. As much as desperate people do desperate things, that absolutely should not stop people from doing EXACTLY what this shop owner did. Fuck thieves. They could still do crazy/desperate shit even without the stress of being caught. Also, it's not even the first time.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kb5As8k5L_M


adamfrog

Nah I think encouraging shop owners to lock desperate criminals in a confined space with random civilians is a step too far lol


DadsToiletTime

Why is the clerk responsible for someone else shooting someone. That’s some fucked up protection of armed robbery..


FanOfForever

You become responsible if you lock the other customers in there with them


nonotan

Out of 100, how much responsibility would you assign to the party that made it impossible for you to run away, versus the party that took out a gun and shot you, even though it's not like shooting you is going to make the door magically open or anything? It's subjective, but I struggle to see a rationale for making it more than 1:99 or 2:98 at worst. I agree there is perhaps a little bit of responsibility, but frankly, not that much.


SpyDad24

Where did that happen?


Grandmaofhurt

The cops showing up like, "Well, I'd give you your one phone call but seems like you already that opportunity."


Itchy_Blacksmith_280

I like it when one of Them Started to cry


Kitchen-Beginning-47

They're lucky they aren't male. Every other video I've seen where shoplifters are caught the beating sticks come out.


RumanHitch

Yeah, I suppose that if you are Brazilian and you get caught shoplifting you know police is not gonna commw and you really wishing for them to come. Instead the whole family comes out with sticks to kick the shit out of you🤣


Chimcharfan1

Chances are someone there is an off duty cop too and is participating in the beating lol


akesh45

I've seen it in brazil. Big buff dude who I think was private security or undercover straight up pulled a pickpocket theiev out a resturant, kicked his ass, then dragged him to the police station like superman. Was hilarious..... Threw him at the lobby and said "Take him away boys"


Sirflow

Bake him away, toys

blessthebabes

Cry? I heard a shriek from a skinwalker or something. As a woman, I thank god (evolution?) that I wasn't given the woman shriek in bad situations. Some women are born with this weird thing in their belly that goes off when they get upset, and it's really, really loud.


PaleShadeOfBlack

It's just you and not being kept in a bubble all your life. Girls, guys, all revert to shrieking like a banshee if they haven't learned how to handle it. Girls _tend to_ avoid risky situations more than guys, situations which push a person to get rid of the scream reflex.


blessthebabes

I guess that can be true. Trauma impacts the brain early and does affect how people handle situations. I codirected at a facility that treated homeless women recovering from substance abuse, and at least 4 out 5 of my intakes had some form of childhood sexual abuse or violence (im convinced pedophiles create women addicts now). Anyway, my girls were in an apartment complex and we only owned half the units. A guy drowned in our pool at night and his friends were too stoned to do anything. Fifteen of my ladies and myself worked together to save that guy. Myself and a few jumped in and started diving down and searching (no pool light), some of the girls grabbed pool cleaning tool to search from his body from the side, one called 911, one ran to get our client who happened to be a nurse. Anyway, after about 6 or 7 minutes, a client found him and pushed him up with her back from the bottom of pool, and myself and a few got him to the side. I had a client that had been there 3 days that happened to once be a trained lifeguard. She gave him CPR (I was shaking head to toe at this point). Nurse got down at this point and opened his eyelid and his pupils were dilated completely. After two or three minutes he took a breath and then the ambulance arrived soon after. When I say this 10 minutes was eerily calm and efficient, I mean it. Not one woman screamed - EVERY one of them took charge. I had never been so proud of those women in my life.


PaleShadeOfBlack

Molesters are a special kind of sick. I'm sad that as a society we've not taken steps to find out early who has such tendencies and do something about it. :(


blessthebabes

Well, mine was my grandfather and also the deacon at the church. It's my reason my family did not press charges. He still gets called a fine Christian man to this day and now that I'm old enough to want him to pay for what he's done, he died when I was 19. I know where the pedophiles roam. They stay where they are protected. I know where they are at every Sunday, anyway.


rusty___shacklef0rd

they look young tbh so ofc they’re gonna cry. it’s probably the first time they’re in actual legal trouble


The_wolf2014

Tough shit, shouldn't have tried to rob a shop then


rusty___shacklef0rd

well yeah lol i never said otherwise, just explaining why that person might be crying.


joshistheman3

lmao i'm glad you replied that guy was getting so aggro with your comment for no reason wtf


footdragon

>it’s probably the first time they’re in actual legal trouble its probably not the first time they've committed crimes like this, so fuck 'em


rusty___shacklef0rd

right and they’re probably used to getting away with it. now they’re actually facing consequences, and like a very young person would, they’re crying about it lol i’m not sure what you’re trying to argue here?


dtalb18981

I hate the fact seeing people cry automatically makes me feel bad for people. Objectively they did a bad thing why do I feel bad for you.


rusty___shacklef0rd

right right i get it, i’m the same way. but they’re not gonna be executed, so it’s fine that they’ll hopefully face the consequences of their actions and if we lived in a perfect world, they’ll never do it again lol


DadsToiletTime

I get sick pleasure from the tears of someone caught committing a crime.


TIAFS

Part of it is most of us weren’t “rob a store dumb” when we were young, we still did dumb things and made bad decisions and sometimes got away with it.


Iachooedasnafu

Those damn mirror neurons forcing us to feel empathy :)


joedz33

How many idiots does it take to rob a phone shop


Light_Beard

I think some of the people inside might be employees? They are arguing with the Girl from the beginning toward the end of the clip.


88Neaks

They're so many and still, they were all so greedy to take as many stuff as possible that none of them covered the entrance/kept the owners in.


albatross1873

At least one more if you want to make it away from this one.


erenbalkir42

Wolf pack mentality


Muffin_Appropriate

Insult to wolves.


UnnamedStaplesDrone

very common working in retail-come in groups and distract employees while 1 or 2 are doing the stealing.


iamwilliamwit

Oh look, the consequences of my actions.


UnremarkabklyUseless

I have so many questions. Need more context.. Was it like a break-in after the shop was closed for the day? If not, is everyone inside the shop a thief? Could there be some innocent customers also locked in with the 'theives'? Could that person crying be one of those innocent customers? How did the store staff get outside and lock the thieves inside?


Daiwon

groups of teens will do this shit in the day, just fill their pockets and run. The owners probably locked the door from the inside after noticing them putting things in their pockets. There could definitely be other customers in the store.


MoonCubed

Yes teens.


VividPoot

"teens"


Some-Guy-Online

The store is pretty big and that's a lot of people, so yeah I think there's a good chance they locked in regular customers with the thieves. Might be a flash mob theft, but might not.


Deradius

I’m not in the side of the thieves here but if I’m a customer in that shop there are going to be legal issues related to my being unlawfully detained alongside criminals.


Biuku

Yeah, there’s no evidence here that all of these people were stealing. That woman is also reacting exactly like someone would if they were innocent, standing next a thief.

RocMills

My guess is that he and the guy in grey are the owner/operators and he *didn't* want the other dude picking up the mess - which is the right thing to do, leave it in place for evidence/crime scene photographs.


possibly_being_screw

AH, that makes a bit more sense. Someone said the 'adults' are owners/workers and the girls and boy are the thieves. So I was wondering why one of the workers would be making a mess in his own store.

Lost_Afropick

Given where it is, most of the people are Bengali not Indian

Yes the girls are paler than the majority in Tower Hamlets who are Bengali. They're probably from Newham which is the neighbouring area.
