Unfortunately for her, the owner actually went to the next store to get something and as soon as the lady turned to leave the store, the owner came in.

I think the owner saw her putting the money in her underwear and immediately apprehended her,” a source narrated.

The lady, who was later taking to the police station by the store owner, said she stole the money because she was hungry.
