There’s a wealth of found-comedy in watching this gang of armed, helmeted robbers try in vain to smash the glass in this Malaysian jewelry store in Jalan Besar, Sungai Buloh: the hammers bounce off the fantastically tough glass, whose resilience is positively otherworldly, while the otherwise beautifully choreographed robbery (which includes some pretty snazzy outfits!) founders.
Redditors have pointed out that pickaxes would have served the robbers better — even so, if I were the manufacturer of that safety glass, I’d be using this CCTV footage in all my ads from now on.
Here’s what happened next: “After some time, the robbers were seen fleeing the scene in a purple Perodua Alza with no registration plate. The case is being investigated under Section 393 of the Penal Code for armed robbery.”
