Chandigarh:

A woman in Punjab’s Amritsar single-handedly stopped three robbers from getting into her home, screaming and blocking the door as the criminals kept trying to force their way in. Mandeep Kaur’s husband was out and she was at home with their two children when the robbers struck and failed. CCTV cameras at their home captured the robbers’ attempt to get in and how Ms Kaur stopped them.

Mandeep Kaur’s husband Jagjeet Singh is a jeweller. This may be the reason why the robbers targeted their home.

According to the time stamp in the CCTV footage, the robbers attempted the break-in on Monday evening.

Ms Kaur said she was drying clothes when she noticed three masked men near her home. Soon, they scaled the wall and approached the main door. She promptly rushed to lock the door but the robbers started pushing hard to get in. The CCTV footage shows Ms Kaur blocking the door with all her strength as the robbers keep pushing. She somehow manages to latch the door and then pulls the sofa to secure the entry. Ms Kaur keeps screaming throughout to alert the neighbours. Her son and daughter, tense due to the developments, are also seen in the CCTV footage. The door secured, Ms Kaur is seen making phone calls to get help while constantly checking the windows to see if the robbers had fled.

Two other cameras covering the entry to the house captured the three robbers pushing hard against the main door. Ms Kaur is heard screaming as the robbers fail to force their way in and flee.

Speaking to the media, the brave woman said her children were in shock. “They (robbers) should be caught and punished,” she said.

Woman police officer AK Sohi said they are investigating the robbery attempt and scanning the CCTV footage to identify the criminals so that they can be arrested at the earliest.

A shocking video of two Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers stealing money and other items from bags of passengers at Miami International Airport has gone viral on social media. According to the New York Post, the officers allegedly stole at least $600 in cash and other items from passengers’ luggage on June 29 this year. The officers identified as 20-year-old Josue Gonzalez and 33-year-old Labarrius Williams, were arrested in July when enforcement officials began investigating claims of theft occurring at the checkpoint. 

A video of the theft has emerged now, showing the agents working together to take money from wallets and purses that passed them on the way to the X-ray machine. In the footage, one of the officers is seen putting his hand inside a wallet and slipping the money inside his own pocket.

As per Fox News, the duo along with Elizabeth Fuster were arrested in July and initially charged with organized scheme to defraud, according to Miami-Dade County jail records. They were booked into Turner Guilford Knight Detention Center.

Fuster and Gonzalez confessed to ”numerous thefts” from travelers, admitting to stealing an average of $1,000 daily while working together. Both of them have pleaded not guilty to the third-degree felony grand theft charges they face, while charges against Fuster were dropped in August. 

The officers have been removed from screening duties pending the completion of the investigation and administrative actions, according to the TSA. 

The statement by TSA stated, ”The Transportation Security Administration holds its Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to the highest professional and ethical standards and has no tolerance for misconduct in the workplace.”

”We actively and aggressively investigated these misconduct allegations and presented our findings to the Miami Dade Police Department, and are working closely with them. Any employee who fails to meet our fundamental ethical standards is held accountable,” the statement added.
