This is the stunning second merciless crooks steal from an aged girl by pretending she has dropped some cash in Leicester.
A girl carrying a darkish blue scarf, jacket, and blue skirt totters alongside the pavement in Brandon Street, Leicester, with a white and inexperienced provider bag hanging from her arm.
A gaggle of males carrying baseball caps and darkish clothes could be seen within the CCTV footage strolling on the alternative facet of the street.
One of the boys breaks away from the group and scampers throughout the street earlier than shortly strolling behind the aged girl, aged in her 70s. He pulls one thing out from his pocket which seems to be a bit of paper and fingers it to her.
After briefly chatting with the pensioner, the thug factors to the ground and he or she stoops down to select one thing up.
He can then be seen reaching into his pocket once more and a few silvery cash fall to the ground.
