A video circulating on social media showed an 11-year-old girl tending a convenience store in front of her house when a masked man on a motorbike approached and asked to purchase some items. The man picked an item from the display shelf and went inside, holding a large bill and asking for change.
As the girl opened the cash drawer, the man picked up another item, placed it in a plastic bag, and asked for the total. While she was counting the money to give him change, he suddenly lunged forward, grabbed the cash, and quickly ran outside, escaping on his motorbike.
