According to South American media, including Infobe, on the 12th (local time), a young woman fell into a manhole immediately after getting out of a taxi with her pet dog in the Ancon area north of Lima, Peru.
The taxi driver who witnessed this screamed and citizens around ran.
Fortunately, the woman did not appear to be seriously injured. The citizens brought the ladder down so that the woman could get out. The woman who emerged from the manhole limped and was in pain.
At that time, the manhole was reportedly covered with thin wooden boards.
As a result of police investigating CCTV, two male thieves were filmed stealing the manhole lid and running away two days before the accident occurred.
Manhole lid thefts often occur not only in South America but also throughout the world.
This has caused accidents in which people, animals and vehicles are missing, and authorities are struggling to prevent theft.
Local police have identified the thief and are pursuing his whereabouts.
