In the clip, the man recording slowly panned his camera towards women standing shoulder to shoulder. One of them appeared to be standing unusually close behind another woman who was holding a child. The focus shifted to her hand, which the man claimed was slipping into the other woman’s purse.

Within seconds, the man abruptly stepped forward and grabbed her hand mid-action, stopping her in place. He repeatedly said he had caught her “red-handed” and that everything had been recorded on his phone.
