In an attempt to retrieve the expensive device the woman, who is seven months pregnant, went to give chase.

While getting up to chase the thief she suddenly tripped and fell as the man escaped out a door and into the car park.

  • It’s not worth endangering yourself to chase someone who has stolen something from you. I’m glad she and the bub were ok.
