A man in China has been caught carrying out his novel plan for picking the pockets of a passing cyclist.<\/p>\n
Wang Hongbo, 32, was snapped by cameras lifting a mobile phone from a woman's pocket as she rode through the streets of Zhengzhou.<\/p>\n
He chased the lady as she cycled through the city before using the eating device to subtly lift the handset from her clothing.<\/p>\n
Mr Hongbo was caught out when a passer-by took photographs of the entire stunt, including him visiting a second hand shop to sell the phone.<\/p>\n
The crafty criminal then handed himself into police after discovering his photograph had been widely published on the internet and in printed publications.<\/p>\n
On the busy streets of China, people might feel vulnerable to pick pockets, and they have a reason to be if the actions of Mr Hongbo are replicated elsewhere, or if thieves are thinking up new and innovative ways to rob individuals of their possessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
