Toy Gun Thugs Tried, Failed in Flammable Jordanian Heist
Two men attempted to rob an exchange shop in Jordan on Saturday but their plan went awry. The suspects, whose faces were covered, entered the shop in the Zarqa Governorate with a toy gun, demanding that the workers hand over money. However, they failed to carry out the robbery and instead set fire to a chair before making their escape.
The incident was captured on camera and shared on social media, showing the suspects leaving the scene in a yellow vehicle. The police were alerted and quickly located the suspects, arresting them and seizing their car. The plastic toy gun was also found in their possession.
