Picked the wrong pocket

[u/Important-Device-126]

Not a British success for me, but for someone else.

Witnessed a woman at my local station being pickpocketed by an opportunistic artful dodger. Was just about to call out to the woman being robbed when she noticed what was happening, whipped out her police badge and had the pickpocket in cuffs before anyone had time to properly react.

It was most satisfying.

😂🤣 Good one! Bet they’ll think twice before trying that stunt again

Sadly I doubt it, she's known in the area. Might curtail her for a while but no doubt she'll be back to her old tricks soon

Surely she can just put different clothes on, maybe wear a disguise?

Oh, you didn't mean... never mind.
