In a rather shocking incident, a middle aged woman has been caught on CCTV stealing in a hospital.

The exact location of the hospital remains unknown, but the footage reveals the thief posing as a patient to carry out her operation.

The lady took advantage of a distracted medical official and an empty waiting area to quickly swipe several type-C chargers from a counter.

Surprising enough, she avoided more valuable items, like mobile phones, airpods and other items left to charge.

Displaying a level of expertise, the woman discreetly inserted the chargers between her thighs and positioned herself as the medical officer approached.

Throughout the act, she was seen meticulously scanning the area to ensure she wasn’t being watched, seemingly unaware of the CCTV camera capturing her every move.
