Erick Jacquin Says Thief Smashed Taxi Window, Stole His Phone

Overview

• Jacquin said in an Instagram video that a robber broke the taxi window and grabbed his cellphone, and he was not hurt.
• He said the phone had no banking apps, yet intruders accessed his WhatsApp and started impersonating him.
• The chef urged friends and followers to ignore any messages that ask for money and said he is changing passwords and his number.
• G1 reported that he did not specify the exact location or date of the robbery and that São Paulo’s public security office had not yet responded to its request for comment.
• The incident fits the recurring “quebra-vidro” pattern in which thieves smash car windows to steal phones, and O Globo noted a recent police sweep that detained 43 suspects tied to such crimes.
