We often come across thieves who steal money and goods, but have you ever seen a "flower thief" who steals potted plants?

Wanmei feels just as speechless as everyone else. How much can a pot of flowers be worth? Why steal potted plants at all? But no matter the reason, using theft as a method is simply too vile!

In 9 seconds, two women stole two potted bonsai

From the 9-second surveillance clip captured by the shop, it can be clearly seen that at around 21:30 on April 30, two women walked quickly from the right side of the frame, heading straight for the two green plants placed outside the shop. One woman, with long hair, wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt on top and a long skirt on the bottom, crouched down first and easily lifted one of the pots with both hands, quickly slipping away. The other woman, with short hair and a jacket on top, followed closely behind, also bending down to carry a pot away.

Mr. Luo, the person in charge of the shop, said that the entire theft process captured by the surveillance camera installed outside the shop entrance lasted only one minute, and after that, the transport route, tools, and whether any vehicle or person was waiting to assist remain unknown.

Police retrieve surveillance footage, currently comparing portraits

Mr. Luo said the two stolen African jasmine plants were worth 700 yuan, but each pot weighed nearly 10 kg, so carrying them away with ease required a certain amount of strength.

According to police officers from the Dongba Police Station, on the day they received the report, they copied the surveillance video from the shop, and are currently comparing the portraits of the two women in the footage. They also welcome anyone with information to provide clues.

Some netizens joked about this, saying "They must be flower lovers too!" But even so, one should "take things in a proper way." It is hoped that these two flower thieves can be alerted and stop in time.

Here, the shop owner hopes that through his own experience, he can remind business owners to try not to leave potted plants outside the door at night, so as not to give thieves an opportunity.

About this matter,

Wanmei just wants to say,

Flower-pinching thief, you left something behind!

You left behind civility, you left behind your bottom line!

Wanmei still reminds the broad masses of Guangyuan people,

If you don't want to be remembered by thieves,

Do more anti-theft measures,

After all, these days thieves won't even spare a mat...
