A viral video has taken social media by storm as it captures the shocking moment a lady was caught on camera attempting to steal eggs from a supermarket.
The incident, which was uploaded on the popular video blogging platform TikTok, has sparked a wave of reactions online, with many debating whether her actions were driven by desperation or criminal intent.
