One store tennis court in Fort Worth, Texas, United States, during the morning of last Friday, the 28th, was the target of an assault. However, due to the security measures that were implemented by the store owner, the burglars ended up being deceived.

Chad Steward, owner of the tennis store, published a video of the episode on his social network, Facebook, this Sunday, 30. The video in question showed three men going through the stock full of shoe boxes.

During his interview with KDFW, Chad Steward showed the reporter the broken glass in his store. "I 

would saywhattheythey werehere kicking, punching or doing something“, stated the owner.

Despite breaking the glass, the robbers were unable to enter the store through the window. Therefore, the men ended up breaking into a door that was locked with two padlocks. Thus, Steward believes that the criminals took a crowbar with them to get into the store.

After breaking down the door to enter, the robbers only managed to reach the warehouse, which was full of shoe boxes stacked on the shelves of the place. To enter the main room of the store, the burglars would need to go through another steel door.

“It would have taken onegood time to get in," Chad Steward reported to KDFW. “I am happy to have the preventatives that I did“, he completes.

If the locks, doors, bars and security alarms weren't enough to try to contain the invasion of thieves at Laced Connection, the owner even left only one pair of each shoe in the stock.

Why did Chad Steward post the robbery video on his social media?

Still in the interview with KDFW, the store owner claims that watching the video of the robbery leaves him with anger, and that he would have posted it on the networks to try to get the police to arrest the criminals.

In fact, Steward is offering a $1,000 reward to anyone with information about the burglars or the sneakers that were taken from his store. “I want them to be caught… I I want that they be prisoners. No that's right", concluded the owner of the establishment.
