Thieves Steal $1,600 Worth of Paper Towels and Detergent

A team of four masked shoplifters filled a minivan and SUV with the stolen goods from a grocery store in Connecticut, making away with about $1,600 worth of detergent and paper towels. Onlookers seemed more interested in filming and berating the shoplifters than calling the police. Most large stores have a “no chase” policy for shoplifters. Connecticut State Police advised that had 911 been called, they could have intervened.

Who's selling laundry detergent on the black market, and who the hell is buying it off the black market?

[mickytan]

Only in America. In other parts of the world, the thieves would have been trashed by the bystanders.

They call themselves the quicker picker uppers. Now there’s a Bounty on them.

[dfpguitar]

that cop is about as intimidating as a paper towel.

Reporter:”how could they get away with something like this?”
*pans to the cop that looks like he’s a 14 year old Boy Scout*

Anybody in CT wearing very, very clean clothing is a suspect now.

This look like wayyyy more than 1600, the detergent alone is about 20 bucks a piece

Anchor: How can they get away with this

Me: They walked out and put stuff in the car🤷🏿‍♂️

Anyone with a pocket knife should have flattened their front tires quickly.

America is weird. Letting people steal in peace 😂😂.

I laughed so hard when they pushed the shopping cart into the car. It didn't even dent it, just bounced

[Indicadores-de-problemas]

certain people can't walk through the store without being accused of stealing but these people can do this ..😑😑🤔🧐

"How can they get away with something like this" They legit let them.

[zackrice]

Reporter "No one even called the cops for at least 10 minutes after they left"

Same reporter seconds later "How could they get away with this"

[PanikYugioh]

You don’t need to fight with then if you see this happening, but at the very least slash their tires.

[andresherrera]

who the hell is buying laundry detergent from the black market 😭

[Amanda-nuzk]

Imagine if this is what your life has come to. Stealing paper towels and laundry detergent for money. What a sad life.

[oogaboogashooga]

I’m confused how they got all that stuff in one hit. The stores around me don’t have that much stocked to steal lol

[swissmiss]

It would suck to go to jail for laundry detergent and paper towels 😂

"They didn't even call police until 10 minutes after the robbers had left" 😞 Why complain then if they all had cellphones to take videos but none felt the urgency to call the police as it was happening? Could be an inside job too... Insuarance fraud is also a crime!
