Man Steals Car Then Another Person Steals It From Him, Both Thieves Arrested

'What goes around comes around' is a phrase on how karma works. This case of car theft from USA is a good example, as per a TNN report.

A man in a stolen car had his car stolen when he pulled over to someone with a flat tire, reports said.

The bizarre case of theft was reported from Layhill Road in the area of Longemead Crossing Drive on March 10.

According to reports, Shamari J. Reid and his friend were driving around in a Toyota RAV4. When Reid saw a teenager struggling in changing out a flat tire at the side of the road, he pulled over and offered help.

But little did he know his offer for help would turn into a nightmarish experience. As Ried and his friend assisted 19-year-old Tykel Wilson with the tire change on the Mitsubishi Lancer, the teenager quickly tried stealing the car by putting it in reverse.

However, the theft was not entirely successful as the car hit a kerb and became inoperable. According to reports, Reid also threatened Wilson as he sat in the car by pointing a handgun.

An investigation by the police revealed that the Mitsubishi Lancer was also stolen from Prince George's County. Reports said Reid had attempted to hide his load handgun but it was found at the scene by officers.

"During the investigation of this collision, officers determined that prior to the crash, Reid and his friend were traveling on Layhill Road in the area of Longemead Crossing Drive in the Toyota RAV4 when they observed Wilson attempting to change a flat tire on a Mitsubishi Lancer. Reid¡¯s friend, who was driving, stopped his RAV4 and both men offered to help Wilson change the tire," Montgomery County Police Department wrote in a Facebook post.
