In a footage shared on the YouTube channel of GI-Technologies who installed the cameras, the gentleman was seen live carrying out his operations in broad daylight.

Before he started the operation, he, first of all, took a scan around the area to make sure there were no threats and everything was conducive for him.
See the video below:
Interestingly, one of his trademarks was that he would pretend to be on the phone with someone by holding his handset to his ear, whilst tactfully monitoring his victims to steal their items.
He was finally caught after the footage was shown to a group of students and one of them identified the young man when he came for another operation.
Below are some comments from social media users on the video:

How can you walk into an office and be looking around like you've lost something there? How difficult will it be to capture this their without surveillance cameras? Unanimous Abuordin , pls help me na maybe I'm overthinking.
Meanwhile, a beautiful Ghanaian lady with nicely-braided hair has been captured on a CCTV footage stealing phone in a church after the service was over.
