A viral video is making waves online, and it’s not your usual CCTV clip. What starts as a quiet robbery inside a phone shop turns into a jaw-dropping twist that no one saw coming.
It looked like just another regular day at a phone shop.
A man, posing as a customer, stood near the counter, chatting casually with the shopkeeper. Moments later, things took a dangerous turn.
Here’s the viral video:

The man suddenly pulled out a gun and aimed it straight at the shopkeeper. He then stepped behind the counter, rummaging through drawers.
Finding nothing valuable, he moved out of the CCTV’s frame. He was likely handed some items by the shopkeeper. Moments later, he reappeared, tucking his gun away and slowly walking toward the exit.
But that’s when the twist happened.
The shopkeeper suddenly pulled out his own gun and fired at the robber. A bullet seemed to hit him, causing the man to fall to the ground.
The clip, titled “He wanted the robber to stay”, was shared by popular X (formerly Twitter) handle Steve Inman. The viral video has since sparked intense reactions online, with viewers stunned by the shopkeeper’s bold move.
