@london_content_media: A woman posing as a beggar has been targeting people in busy public areas in London, by using a distraction technique to steal their phones. Carrying a handwritten sign asking for help, she approaches her victims while placing the sign over their belongings. As the victim focuses on reading the message, she subtly slides their phone underneath the paper and into her possession. In one recent incident, the woman approached seated individuals who had placed their phone on a café table. After covering the device with her sign, she slipped it away unnoticed. Shockingly, after already taking the phone, she continued to beg and even convinced the other victim to give her money, walking away with both the stolen device and cash. #theft #london #beggar #fyp
