A Mexican schoolgirl was bound and gagged by a burglar at her home while her classmates watched the terrifying incident on a zoom chat.
The raider entered the home when the young woman, identified on her chat screen as Ariana Sofia Hernandez Aldama, was receiving lessons through Zoom at her home in Durango City, in the northwestern central state of Durango.
The footage starts when she has already been bound and gagged and is sitting motionless, seemingly to not antagonise the raider, who can be seen prowling through the property wearing a baseball cap.
After looking through the home, the thief returns to lower the computer camera so he can carry out his crime without being watched.
