00:17The two men were holding hands behind a closed van that passed through several streets in Quezon City.
00:24The driver did not know that the two men had already stolen the goods.
00:27The actual crime was not captured on the CCTV camera.
00:30The driver only discovered it when he stopped.
00:32When they arrived at the place where they were delivering the goods,
00:35they found out that the items of their Balikbayan box were gone.
