Husband and Wife Chasing Robber During Cellphone Theft Caught on Restaurant Security Camera Goes Viral
Recently footage was posted online of a robbery that took place on May 16th at an unknown restaurant. In the video a man dressed in a plaid shirt calmly walks up to a table where couple is talking, and snatches their cellphones. As he ran out the store the husband and wife chased the cellphone thief out the restaurant.

If you pay attention to the background of the video you’ll notice a motorcycle pulls up at the same time the cellphone thief enters the restaurant.
