The information comes from 1010 Wins New Yorkwho investigated the case and reported that the crime happened when the 27-year-old was heading towards his car after making the acquisition.

The action took place around 2 am and the victim had smartphones stored in two purses. Thus, the criminals approached in a car and ordered him to deliver the cell phones, but he resisted. However, he ended up being assaulted with a punch in the face and the bandits ended up fleeing with one of the bags.

The bandits managed to take around 125 iPhones 13, which total US$ 95,000 (R$ 500,000 at current prices). According to the police, the man made the purchase to stock his store and sell the models.
