Maybe not all criminals are as heartless as they seem.
In an unusual act of kindness, a pharmacy robber in Piauí, Brazil refused to take the money of an elderly woman — he even planted a kiss on her forehead as his partner stole the money from the cash register.
The pharmacy’s owner, Samuel Almeida, said two armed men on Oct. 15 just barged in and announced a robbery, demanding his cashier to give all the money, as per Brazilian news outlet G1 via Daily Mail.
The elderly woman, a local client, then offered one of the robbers her money when the criminal refused and said “No, ma’am, you can be quiet. I don’t want your money,” according to Almeida.
In a security footage posted by Infosaj in YouTube, one of the robbers can be seen tapping the elderly woman’s shoulder as if he is trying to calm her down, before kissing her on the forehead. The armed robbers both wore helmets during the incident and reportedly took $240 in cash.
The criminals are yet to be identified, as of writing. Almeida has sought help from local police, who have since been searching the neighborhood for the suspects. Ian Biong/JB
