Video: Two 7-Eleven workers beat up a robber

A viral video of an attempted robbery at a 7-Eleven shows how two store workers beat up a robber who was stealing hundreds of cartons of cigarettes by shoving them into a huge trash can.

In the video, shared by thousands on social media, the offender can be seen walking through the store, grabbing handfuls of tobacco products and throwing them into the trash can. At this point, the workers warn him to stop and leave the facility.

Faced with the robber's indifference, one worker holds him and throws him to the ground, while the other grabs a wooden stick and beats him. After this, the offender is seen begging the workers for mercy.

Subsequently, the workers lift the offender off the floor and remove him from the store, warning him not to return.

Although it has not been confirmed at which 7-Eleven store the incident occurred, some media outlets and users on social media suggest that it may be in California or New York.

*Update:

According to police sources in Stockton, California, where the incident took place, both store workers are being investigated for assault against the shoplifter. According to the Stockton Police Department, this was not the first time the same individual attempted to rob the same store.

The story is divided into several acts. A first time, on July 28, this individual entered and successfully robbed the 7-eleven, threatening to shoot the workers. On July 29, the same individual returned to the store to steal, and it was then that the workers gave him a severe beating. Later the same day, Police received a call from the Fire Department. Upon arrival they found a man, with wounds on his arms and legs, who was unable to determine whether or not he was the victim of an assault. He was the same individual who robbed the 7-eleven once and attempted to rob it a second time. Now they will seek to conclude what really happened in the eyes of the law.
