On January 2012, two MRT passengers reported that they fell prey to a group of pickpocketing syndicates while inside the train. One victim caught the suspect but was quickly deceived by the suspects’ accomplices that he jumped out of the train.

Modus
Several members of a pickpocket syndicate will mingle inside a crowded MRT train. Once spotted a potential victim, one member of the robbery group will do the deed – steal the bag, wallet, mobile phone or laptop in a crowded train. If the victim will not notice the act of stealing, the robbery group successfully brings home the victim’s valuables for reselling.
