Women pick-pockets have a field day in Delhi Metro – 180 women held during 2015

In the period January to September of the current year, as many as 182 women pick-pockets were caught in the Delhi Metro and the number of men was only 13. Obviously, women pick-pockets are having a field day. The figures have been compiled by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).
This has been reported in ibnlive.com dated 13 October 2015.

These women have a clever method – they usually have a child or toddler with them and use that as a deception to pick the pockets of the travelers.
The corresponding figures of the past show that women always were more in number. In 2014, over 300 women were intercepted for these crimes while in 2013, out of a total of 466 pickpockets held across various stations of the Delhi Metro, 421 were women.
