A surveillance camera at a gas station in the southeastern Brazilian state of São Paulo captured the awkward moment when a pair of thieves plunged into a well where mechanics were changing the oil of vehicles.
The suspects drove to the station in the city of Alambari on Monday and asked one of the escorts to refuel their motorcycle before announcing the robbery.
The camera later shows the attacker brandishing a gun in the back as he escorts an employee into a store.

Both suspects were arrested nine miles away in the town of Ipatetininga in São Paulo.
