Citizens' group 'Patrulha Policial' has published a 12-minute video online that reveals the dark side of Rio de Janeiro, bringing to light the dozens of thefts that are made daily to passers-by in downtown. From his window, a man captures several thefts carried out by young people. Jewelry, phones, bags or money, the youths are trying to grab with needless arrogance that see in front of them, in the hands of locals or tourists.

The group 'Patrulha Policial' says its mission is to fight crime and support the Brazilian police, highlighting the fact that the media does not want to show.
