A Shocking Video Reveals Robbery In Brazil
According to a video, a young man in a wheelchair was captured attempting a robbery in Brazil. According to reports, the teen with cerebral palsy was in the jewelry store for more than ten minutes, before placing a note on the counter of the store, with his feet.
The note, directed to the cashier simply instructed him to stay calm and pass over the cash. Here’s what the note says after translating to English:
”Hand over everything. Don’t raise attention.’
