Recently, videos spread on social media of armed robberies and attacks on pedestrians in the streets and car owners, in light of the rise in inflation to unprecedented levels in Britain, affected by the Russian war.
The British “Daily Mail” reported that “lawless London” witnessed several incidents of theft and armed robbery of people and cars in an attempt to steal them, in the absence of police.
A video clip circulating of two men trying to steal a Rolex watch from a woman in front of her husband, angered many followers on Twitter.

The British poured their anger on the mayor of London, in light of the lack of laws in the English capital.
The video shows two men beating the husband hard to force him to stop stopping his wife’s theft. The thieves attacked the husband forcefully with a sharp object, amid the screams of the woman trying to defend herself.
This comes after shocking footage captured last Sunday showed the moment a thief dressed as a racer smashed a £3m Bugatti Chiron with a hammer in an attempt to steal a Kuwaiti Rolex.

According to the Daily Mail, Abdullah Al-Basman, known for posting pictures of his sports cars, was targeted while driving in central London, where he was wearing a platinum Rolex watch, worth 110,000 pounds.
It appears from the video that the thieves hit the car several times before the supercar drove quickly and the thief failed to steal them.
Britain’s inflation rate reached 9.4% on an annual basis in June, the highest level in 40 years.
This was driven by an increase in car fuel prices by 9.3% last month.
And the National Statistics Office expected inflation rates to reach 11% in October if energy prices continue to rise
