The man was waiting for his victim on Monday, August 28, until 11 a.m. in front of Kaufland in Česká Lipa.
Video captured by a security camera shows a woman in orange Bermuda shorts loading groceries into the trunk of a dark Ford. Meanwhile, a black-haired man in a black-and-yellow hoodie watches her cautiously as she stands in front of the car.
As the woman loads her purchases, she slams the fifth door and leaves with the cart to a nearby barn. At that moment, the man sneaks up to the right rear door, grabs a small object and leaves.
Now the police are looking for the thief and asking for help. “Does anyone know a person who patiently waited for an opportunity and took what did not belong to him?” the Česká Lipa municipal police urged in a released video.
“At the moment, we cannot disclose what the man took from the car and what possible punishment he faces for this,” adds Eva Vlastnikova, a police spokeswoman for Cheskolip. However, he believes that the culprit will be caught.
