A shocking robbery that took place in an Argentine shop has gone viral. The clip shows how a worker was caught off guard by a man who entered the store intending to take money and merchandise. However, in the middle of the tense situation, a discreet action by the woman ended up being key to changing the outcome.

As seen in the footage, the criminal demanded cash while looking through the shop. The employee, trying to remain calm, explained that she had no money and asked him to avoid touching the store’s products, especially when the man seemed willing to take a garment from the establishment.

But in a moment of carelessness by the criminal, the young woman took the opportunity to make a signal toward the outside of the shop, managing to catch the attention of a police officer who was nearby. Seconds later, the officer entered the store and managed to subdue and arrest the alleged thief. See it with your own eyes:
