Watch out for this scam!
Police say that the gang is usually comprised of four members - one adult and three younger ones.
While the three younger ones, appearing sweet and innocent, divert their 'mark' (or intended target) with a show of friendliness, the fourth (the eldest) sneaks in from behind the person's back to expertly rifle through his or her pockets, or purses and bags, for any valuables being carried.
The picture below shows the gang in operation.
