Police
are urging women visitors to the city center to be especially
vigilant for a new gang operating a slick routine that
is aimed at stealing from the unwary. They say that
the gang usually comprises four members.
While the three younger ones, all appearing to be cute
and innocent, divert their "mark" (or intended
target) with a show of friendliness and fun, the fourth,
the eldest of this gang of criminals, sneaks in from
behind the woman's back to expertly rifle through their
bags and pockets undetected for any valuables.
The attached photo, taken recently by a CCTV News team
operating in the inner city, shows this fowl gang in
operation.
