A video has emerged on the
internet of two men breaking the window of a car parked by the roadside as they
stole the car’s engine control unit (ECU) popularly known as brainbox.
The ECU is an electronic device
that regulates many of a vehicle’s important functions and has a direct impact
on how well the car runs.
The two thieves were captured on
a Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) as they broke the smashed the glass of a
Toyota Corolla and carried out their operation without any obstruction or
challenged from passersby.
It was gathered that the incident
happened at Oba Akran road in Ikeja area of Lagos, on Tuesday morning.
From the CCTV footage, one of the
robbers was seen on a motorcycle waiting, while his partner was seen moving
around the car, poured some substance to the window which broke the glass.
He then walked away from the car,
then returned to open the car throw the broken window and carried out his
operation before mounting the waiting motorcycle and absconded.
A commentator in the video said
the thieves stole the car’s brain box.
Another commentator could be
heard saying that the robbers mixed salt and saliva to crack the glass of the
car which allowed him gained access to steal the brain box.
What is the essence of the analysis instead of calling the Police or raising an alarm for them to be stopped? Nonsense!
