An Indian family was reportedly caught on camera shoplifting items from a roadside vendor in Hoi An, Vietnam. The video of the shocking robbery has gone viral, showing a couple with a baby stealing items.
A Reddit user posted the video with the caption, “Tourist stealing from a street vendor in Vietnam.” In the viral clip, one can see the father sneaking items while pretending to shop when the woman shopkeeper turns away to fetch clothes for the couple.
His wife, carrying a baby, can be seen assisting in the theft as she casually filches another item when the shop owner was involved in showing other products. This video distinctly shows tourist's misconduct and garnered backlash on social media as many questioned the tourist's morals and values.
Mint couldn’t independently verify the authenticity of the video.
