LAHORE: The Punjab Safe City Authority has detected a gang of children involved in pickpocketing activities during the ongoing shopping ahead of Eid-ul-Fitr 2024.

The authority shared a video of the group, supervised by an adult, taking mobile phones and other belongings from citizens without reporting the theft.

A gang of children was tracked down after a woman in Lahore’s Anarkali Bazaar received a complaint against the police about stealing a mobile phone.

After receiving the complaint, officials checked the CCTV footage of the area and found that a group of three children were stealing the mobile phone from the woman’s purse while she was sitting inside the rickshaw.
