Hooded thieves were caught on camera stealing tables from a pub in Pontcanna, Cardiff, in a brazen daylight theft.
Details of the Incident
The two hooded figures were captured on CCTV arriving at The Robin Hood pub on Severn Grove during the early hours of Friday, June 12. Shortly before 5am, they took the tables from outside the establishment. The thieves came equipped with a cordless drill and appeared to be attempting to remove the legs from the tables as quickly as possible.
The act was carried out in broad daylight. One individual, wearing a blue puffer coat with the hood up, stood guard to watch for passers-by, while the other, dressed in a black hooded coat, worked on removing the legs right outside the pub. The loud noise of the screwdriver was also captured on the CCTV footage.
Community Reaction
The footage was shared on The Robin Hood's social media pages, prompting locals to comment on how "brazen" and "shocking" the theft was. One person wrote: "I'll be looking out for them. Shocking." Another said: "So brazen... and they didn't even take them away and apart around the corner or something. Right outside..." A third person commented: "What is wrong with people these days!!" Another claimed that the thieves have "no shame whatsoever."
The pub's owner confirmed that the theft has been reported to South Wales Police, who have been approached for comment.
