In a scene that defies belief, nine people have been captured on camera emerging from a single sedan before carrying out a brazen early-morning robbery at a US store.
The Bizarre Exit
Security footage from October 15 shows a silver Hyundai Sonata reversing into a parking spot outside a business north of Warrenton, Virginia, at approximately 3.30am local time. What happened next has left investigators and the public astonished.
Despite the vehicle being a standard-sized sedan, seven individuals wearing masks and hoodies poured out of the passenger compartment while two more unexpectedly emerged from the boot. The contortionist-like display saw the group somehow fitting into spaces that seem physically impossible for nine people.
The Robbery Details
After untangling themselves from the vehicle, the large group immediately turned their attention to breaking the store's front window to gain entry. The targeted business was identified as a vape and tobacco shop that also sells custom clothing and high-end, hand-painted tennis shoes.
According to the Fauquier County Sheriff's Office, the thieves were in such a rush that they reportedly stole only the left shoes from the inventory, leaving behind mismatched pairs in their haste to escape.
Ongoing Investigation
Law enforcement authorities believe this same group may be responsible for multiple other burglaries in the surrounding area. The sheriff's office confirmed they are coordinating with other law enforcement agencies to compare surveillance images and identify the subjects involved.
"We are working with those law enforcement offices to compare images to identify the subjects and bring them to justice," the sheriff's office stated in their official announcement about the incident.
The investigation continues as police work to track down the nine individuals involved in this unusually crowded criminal enterprise.
