The images, captured by a security camera, show a man wearing a beige shirt and sunglasses hanging around his neck inside a establishment.

In the video, the individual takes advantage of the shop assistant's distraction to steal a phone and hide it in his pants pocket.

The incident, which occurred in a store located in Centro Habana, has generated a flood of comments on social media, where many are demanding that the authorities take action. Others, however, have pointed out that the theft is a reflection of the severe economic crisis that the island is facing.

"That thief is a miserable person. It's well deserved to tarnish his image as a robber," wrote one person.

"I truly don't understand these shameless people; instead of working to earn an honest living, no, they prefer to steal, a bunch of shameless crooks," commented another user.

So far, there have been no official statements regarding whether the police have identified or apprehended the suspect.

Meanwhile, the video continues to circulate on various platforms, fueling the debate about insecurity and the challenging living conditions in Cuba.

On multiple occasions, security cameras in Havana have captured criminals in the act. One such incident occurred recently when a couple was caught by security cameras while stealing a wallet in a café in Havana. The images show how the woman encourages her partner to commit the theft, which sparked outrage on social media and calls for action from the authorities.

Previously, in January, a security camera in Havana recorded a thief breaking into a private property and taking several items. This incident, shared on social media, highlighted the community's frustration with police inaction and the rising insecurity in the area.

In February, another video showed a thief stealing a cell phone from a car in Centro Habana, in broad daylight and just a few steps away from the owner. This incident illustrates how criminals take advantage of any moment of inattention to carry out their misdeeds.

In addition, in January, a surveillance camera recorded the theft of a cell phone in a café in Nuevo Vedado.

A man took advantage of an employee's negligence to steal the phone, which prompted the owners to seek help on social media to identify the thief.

These cases reflect a worrying trend in Havana, where the economic crisis and lack of resources have led to an increase in the incidence of petty crimes. The community has turned to social media to report these incidents and demand a more effective response from the authorities.
