A woman was caught and arrested after stealing a bunch of foods and drinks that were donated to diligent firefighters on Christmas Day.
The 37-year-old culprit has been charged with theft after allegedly breaking into a supermarket in Sydney, Australia, and stealing a load of SIM cards as well as a shopping cart filled with goods donated to the NSW Rural Fire Service.
After breaking into the supermarket on December 25, the woman drove off in a vehicle with another man despite the efforts of the security personnel to stop the pair.
The woman and her partner weren’t found until later that day when Police Air tracked down their vehicle to their location.
While the thief is facing charges of forced entry, theft, and negligent driving, her partner has been charged with possession of drugs.
Following the incident, people were quick to share their outrage over the robbery on social media, whereas many insisted they should have been jailed for years for stealing from hardworking firefighters who continue to tackle the bushfire crisis.
In another incident of a similar nature, thieves have been dubbed “heartless” and “cruel” after breaking into and robbing a fire station of various necessities amid the country’s on-going battle with bushfires.
The “lowest of the low” incidents occurred in Brisbane, Australia, where thugs forced their way into the Windsor station and stole firefighters’ wallets and mobile phones among other valuable items.
According to 7News, the police were called onto the scene whereas the authorities urged anyone with relevant information to contact them.
As for the people, they can’t believe that anyone would descend as low as stealing from people who are risking their lives to protect the innocent.
In addition, the thieves appeared to have planned it all too well as they targeted the station just before Christmas when it was most vulnerable due to firefighters spending their time with their families.
“Whats happened to people, how could anyone be so cruel and evil to rob a fire station and firefighters who put their lives on the line every day,” someone wrote online.
“This is about as low as one can get. Its bad enough that people are stealing from each other but to rob a fire station!? Amid the bushfire crisis!!” another outraged commenter suggested.
