RJTV

There are some brazen criminals in the world today, but this video out of Brazil takes it to a completely new level. In what starts out as a boring, generic on-the-street interview, things quickly turn frightening.

Interviewer Eduardo Tchao, working for RJTV, went to the heart of Rio De Janeiro to ask a few locals about the high crime rate in the area. In an ironic turn of events, a thief attempted to snatch the necklace of a woman while being interviewed.

Instantly, the interviewer ran after the thief. The video description, which was translated, says that the thief wasn’t successful nor was caught either.

There were 406 killings in the city and surrounding state in August alone last year, an increase of 40 per cent on the year before, according to the Daily Mail. There were also 629 robberies on public transport in August, while muggings rose by almost 40 per cent as well.
