Mumbai: A CCTV video showing a woman allegedly stealing a box of jewellery from a store in Malvani, Malad, has gone viral on social media, with the act appearing so swift that it is almost impossible to notice at first glance.

According to a video shared by 'Malad Culture' instagram page, the theft was allegedly carried out by a group of five women. As per the audio heard in the background of the viral clip, five women entered the jewellery store together. While four of them kept the shopkeeper engaged, one woman allegedly took advantage of the distraction and quietly removed a box of jewellery from a shelf.

The visuals from the CCTV footage show the shopkeeper attending to the women at the counter, seemingly unaware of what is unfolding in the background. Amid the commotion, one of the women can be seen slowly and carefully pulling out a jewellery box from the shelf before concealing it.
