A woman was recently caught on camera jumping over the counter at a Burger King fast-food restaurant in an attempt to steal cash, as several customers watched.

After ordering food, the unidentified woman jumped "over the counter and grabbed approximately $250 in cash," the NYPD spokesperson said.
The incident comes as the NYPD has reported a 30 percent rise in robberies and burglaries over the past month compared to the same period in 2021, crime data shows.
