Beware!! 58 Out Of 100 Pickpockets Caught In Coimbatore City Are Women

-Security Officials

According to an official security report, out of the 77 people caught in Coimbatore City, 38 are women, which comprises about 58% of the total number. Last year, this percentage was 23. The Central Industrial Security Force was assigned a task of providing armed security to the metro operations. There is a constant increase in the numbers of the women engaged in this crime from last few years.

To look into the matter of the theft incidents, force executed over 100 operations, which carries approx 26 thousand commuters on a daily basis. After arresting these women, CI SF hands them over to  Coimbatore Police for the required action as per the law.

Recently, the force caught a scandalous group of women, who had robbed a US-based Indian lady of her precious assets and jewelry while she was traveling in Coimbatore Metro Bus with her husband.

Security Surveillance System installed in the City also captured a significant number of the women pick pocketing in the metro. It has been observed that the women usually carry a child and comes in a group. They usually engage people in some kind of conversation or pull their attention to the child pampering.

 The CISF marked Sullur Aero Gate, Kuniyamuthur, New Bus Stand, Ram Nagar & Ukkadam as the ones prone to the activity of pick pocketing.

The regular complaints of the theft at the city lead to the foundation of anti-squad at every area. To deter these women from performing these kinds of the wicked activities, force deploys women and men in the plain clothes to keep agile watch over these active troublemakers. The officials do not stop such groups from entering these areas or buses, but start following them as soon they board the bus so that they do not commit any crime.

    

The force also emphasized on the fact that being alert and aware is the best way to prevent yourself from theft and other vulnerabilities.

Sometimes, you may not recognize them from their appearance, but try to identify every suspicious activity going around you because- “Prevention is better than cure”.
