Two young brothers waiting for their parents in the family truck must have gotten quite the scare on Saturday when it was robbed while they were inside.
“A couple left their kids in the car while they were shopping in the hardware store,” a police officer from South Okkalapa Township told the Voice Weekly. “Then, two men arrived and opened the door of the truck and they took the bag with the money and ran away.”
The bag was said to contain nearly $1,000.
Police said the kids were aged 7 and 9. They described the suspects as being around 30 years old.
The alleged robbery took place on South Okkalapa’s Waizayandar road at around 12:30pm, Voice reported.
Shouts from the kids alerted staff members, who ran outside the store. But the suspects had already escaped.
