Sikh man and workers who thrashed robber in US store under investigation
An image of a Sikh guy and several employees beating up a thief at a US convenience shop went popular on social media a few days ago. When a store employee tried to stop the shoplifter after he was detected, the thief threatened him with a knife. A store clerk had the decision to act on his own initiative and bravely grabbed the thief's arms as a Sikh guy grabbed a stick and began thrashing him. An observer at the store captured the entire incident.
According to news source KCRA, Stockton police have now revealed that they are looking into the attack of a 7-Eleven robbery suspect by two employees and that the alleged thief is thought to have robbed the shop twice more within a 24-hour period. The video from July 29 is currently trending on social media.
The police reported that they were aware of two previous complaints of early-morning thefts at the 7-Eleven site that involved the same suspected thief, one on July 28 and another on July 29. The management of the convenience store has declined to comment. The suspect, who police now believe to be the 7-Eleven robber, had previously stated he was unsure of whether or not he had been attacked. They posted on Facebook, saying, "We are aware of the occurrence and the inquiry is continuing.
