Commuters in the Peruvian capital Lima now have to contend with a gang of robbers – who, CNN reports, have allegedly stolen more than $46,000 since mid-January after targeting gridlocked cars.
Police in Lima have filmed the brazen criminals as they reach into cars before making off with valuables.
At one point in the video, a police officer fires his gun from his a car window, apparently to scare off the robbers.
CNN reports that the police have caught a group of alleged thieves.
