Be careful where you put your handbags, folks, because your shopping trolley won’t save them.

According to Times LIVE, a brazen and rather dof criminal was caught on CCTV footage stealing a woman’s handbag from her trolley, as she browsed through the clothing racks at the Galleria shopping mall in Durban.

She reached her hand into the trolley ever so casually and plucked the handbag out, before walking away with a man who appears to be her accomplice.

Rivals that ‘snatching a phone right out of your hands’ thief from Jozi for sheer nerve.

Witness the ballsy theft in action:

The absolute buh-luh-dee cheek of it all, hey?

Far more adept than those front-runners for South Africa’s dumbest criminal, though.
