    It might be the last place you would think of being pickpocketed, but unfortunately it’s time to realise that malls aren’t safe.

    Two separate incidents of a child pickpocketing in Cape Town shopping centres have surfaced. And the worst thing about it? The young girl is being egged on by at least one woman.

    Both videos were shared by Nick Norman on Facebook. He obtained the footage after his wife was “robbed of her cellphone at the Pick ‘n Pay by Boy de Goede Circle in Parklands, Cape Town last Wednesday,” reports News24:

    “My wife’s bag was in the shopping trolley, with the zip closed,” Norman told News24. “The incident happened at around 18h00, and she only realised two hours later that her phone was missing.

    “So she backtracked her movements and eventually went back to the Pick ‘n Pay where she obtained this footage from the store manager.”

    The first video seen below shows another incident at the Spar. The same woman and child can be seen approaching a woman standing at the bakery counter:

    “It appears to be the same woman and child operating in the area; although in my wife’s incident it seems like more than one adult was part of the setup.”

    Take a look:

    Norman opened a case at the Tableview SAPS, and sent info to his neighbourhood watch, but no arrests have been made as yet.

    Here are the suspects:

    Luckily they have CCTV available. I was pickpocketed by two women in the Woolworths in Paarl while shopping for underwear, and they had no footage to give me.

    Be careful out there.
