“You are not you when it’s hot”: a store employee took away goods from a daring cap thief

On July 29, a bearded man in glasses visited the 1000 Little Things store on Dekabristov Street. I walked imposingly to the shelf with hats, especially relevant in connection with the warming promised by weather forecasters, and went out, putting a couple of baseball caps in my bosom.

Busy with other buyers, the 33-year-old seller noticed the maneuver. Grabbing what came to hand, he rushed after the kidnapper. A short fight at the store ended in partial success. Judging by the video, half of the booty was taken away, but in the process the man was hit on the head with a bottle.

Later, he turned to doctors with hematomas on the temple and the back of the head. By this time, the police had arrested two suspects. A block from the store, they caught up with 32-year-old officially unemployed Murad and 42-year-old manager Alexei, to whose house the men were probably heading. Both were detained for two days in the robbery case.

By the way, the second cap was seized by the police.
