MANCHESTER -- Brazen bandits walk into a crowded store and walk out with dozens of stolen I-Pods. And their not-so-sneaky scheme was all caught on camera.
On Wednesday night two men walked into COMPUSA in Manchester and went to the electronics counter. One of them walked over to the glass case and handed over $8,000 worth of I-Pods to his friend. Customers say they aren't surprised.
"I was just standing at the counter for about fifteen minutes and no one came over to help us. There were a few other people standing behind us and there was no one around," said Luc Parandes. "It's pretty easy to steal from that place if no one's watching anyone."
This is not the first time crime has been encountered here. A car was broken into a year-and-a-half ago. According to some, there should be more of a police presence to capture bandits just like this.
"You don't see much police out here at all right now," said Ed Tluc. "I don't see any actually."
