In a brazen act that has left many stunned, a thief shattered the window of a parked car right in front of the Zone 7 Police Station in Abuja and made away with a laptop and a bag containing critical land documents.
The incident came to public attention through a viral video posted by @ChuksEricE on X (formerly Twitter), capturing the distressed vehicle owner surveying the damage.
His voice, heavy with disbelief, can be heard in the footage:
