From having a quick search on the internet it seems that the BTP have targeted Eastern European, and other, gangs who commit theft on the public transport network. If the data posted on the internet is accurate it appears that Eastern European gangs are dominant in this kind of crime and the BTP do have squads to try and prevent organised theft on public transport. This lady must be very traumatised by her experience and perhaps it wasn't very prudent of her to carry such a large sum on public transport, but she still deserves our sympathy irrespective of whether the crime was opportunistic or planned. |
