Reportedly, during the coverage of Carolina Hurricanes’ 8-2 win over the Ottawa Senators in the ice hockey, the camera captured something more than just the usual sports news. It also caught a person stealing ice cream from another – which has been labelled as the “crime of the century” by netizens.

The person who sneakily takes away the ice cream is identified as Weston Davis, reports Mirror.

In the video, a man holds an ice cream cone in a cup while he looks at his friend’s phone. In the meantime, Davis lifts the dessert and takes a generous bite out of it. Though he immediately tries to return it, by then the owner notices his empty cup. Hence, Davis blends into the crowd and walks away - while enjoying the ice cream.

Though many have shared the video online, including one of the teams Carolina Hurricanes, this particular post garnered about 3.5 million views. Since being shared on November 12, it has also amassed about 48,000 likes and close to 14,000 retweets.

People had a lot to say about Davis’ cheeky behaviour. There were also many who were simply impressed. Here’s how they reacted:
